Welcome to Year 1 - Kingdom of the Wild Things!
Welcome to Year One! Here you will find all of the relevant and up to date information about your child's journey as they start Key Stage One!
Welcome to Year 1 – “Kingdom of the Wild Things”!

We’re excited to welcome you and your child to Year 1! This year, your child’s class teacher is Mrs Copley and we are lucky to have Mrs McClure and Mis Hey both supporting us throughout the year. Our class theme for the year is "The Kingdom of the Wild Things", inspired by the children’s book ‘Where the Wild Things are.”

In Year 1, we believe that books unlock the imagination therefore throughout the year, we will explore a variety of year 1 recommended reads to support our learning and creativity across the curriculum.

Your child will take part in daily phonics lessons, building on the sounds they already know and learning alternative spellings used in writing. This will support us for our National Phonics Screening Test in June 2027.

In literacy, we’ll use our class books to support dictated sentence writing, helping children focus on capital letters, full stops, finger spaces and applying their phonics knowledge.

In maths, we will be recognising numbers to 20, adding and subtracting to 10 and within 20, learning number bonds to 6, and exploring the position of numbers on a number line.
 
Our wider curriculum includes Science, PSHE, Design and Technology, Computing, Religious Education, Geography, History and Art, providing children with a broad, balanced and enriching diet for learning.
