Phonics
In Year 1, we learn new phonemes to make us better readers and writers. As a school, we follow the Little Wandle scheme of learning to teach phonics. We introduce new sounds each week so the children can 'Grow the code' and build on their existing knowledge.

English
We enjoy sharing books with the children, making predictions about what will happen next and thinking about how we might change the story. We use quality texts to inspire quality writing. The children will use their fantastic phonic knowledge to write super sentences including, capital letters, full stops and finger spaces.
The children can access Lexia in school and at home. Lexia Reading Core5 is a program that provides personalised learning for each child to help improve their reading. Your child will have their own login to access the program.
Lexia certificates are awarded for each completed level!
Maths
We start the year with our number topic (place valve and addition and subtraction within 10). In the spring term we progress to using numbers with in 20 then 50. We also cover topics on geometry (shape, position and direction), measurement (length, height, mass, volume, money and time), number (multiplication, division and fractions)

  Numbots is a fun and interactive way for your child to improve understanding, recall and fluency in mental addition and subtraction, so that they move from counting to calculating.
Your child will receive their own personal login. Certificates will be awarded for completing each Numbot!
