Below is our Year One Long Term Plan
Phonics
In Year one we learn new sounds to make us better readers and writers. As a school, we use Little Wandle to teach phonics, as it allows pupils to unlock their full potential.

Spellings
In Year 1 we are always busy learning different spellings.
Spelling homework is sent out every Friday and tested the following Friday.
