Year 1 is a transitional year, from play-based learning experiences in the Early Years environment building towards an increasingly structured curriculum.  Throughout this year, we will continue to support the needs of the individual in order for them to develop and learn at their pace and in a safe learning environment.  

Home support

Ideas to support your child's learning this term:

English Expectations:

3 Reads per week. start easy, Look for letters of their name, phase2 tricky words or sounds. Please remember to record this in your child's reading log for their class reward. 

Handwriting:

We use the Oxford Nelson Handwriting programme and suggest single letters are not joined at the beginning of year 1. When your child has mastered all the single letters of the alphabet they will then be taught how letters can be joined. 

Maths:

Over this term we will be counting, ordering and identifying digits and number words to 20 and beyond. 

We will also be looking at 2D and 3D shapes.
