Year 1 Long Tem Plan 2025 - 2026
Phonics
In Year 1, we follow the Little Wandle scheme to teach our daily phonics lessons. We introduce new sounds each week so the children can 'Grow the code' and build on their existing knowledge. The children also learn to read and spell 'tricky' words.
As part of our phonics every child has three reading lessons in school. They will have a phonetically decodadle book that they will read in school and also bring home. It is important that this book is brought to school every day.
Learning with Parents is a UK charity with a vision for every child to be supported at home to
fulfil their potential. They run three programmes in partnership with primary schools to engage and support families to enjoy learning at home together. At St. George's Primary we are using their Digital Reading Logs in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2.
The Learning with Parents digital reading log makes reading fun and easy to record. It’s an inclusive way for schools and families to record reading, replacing physical paper reading records. You can record audio clips, submit photos and log all the different types of reading which
takes place outside of school.
We love hearing your recordings and seeing the photograhs of you enjoying reading!
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!
