In Year 1, we have a big focus on phonics and early reading. Our aim is that every child will know all their phonemes and be able to blend them as quickly as possible, so that they can begin to read with increasing independence and fluency. We read lots in Y1, both the books we can read ourselves and beautiful picture books and stories that we share together. We’ll develop our writing skills, so that we can say a sentence and then use our segmenting skills, handwriting skills and our knowledge of sentences to write it down. By the end of the year, we’ll be writing stories and much more. We have lots of lovely maths resources that we use every day, which helps us to build on our number sense, so that by the end of the year we’ll be confident to add and take away with numbers up to 100! We’ll learn about science, history and geography, as well as PE, music, RE and PSHE. We’ll have so much fun as we learn together!
