Welcome to Year 1.
In Year 1, the children will transition from the EYFS framework to the National Curriculum. They will experience more of a focussed curriculum where they have the opportunity to develop their independence and key skills further.
This year will be heavily phonics-based, and it is encouraged to read with your child at home as much as possible. Reading regularly at home is key to success this year.
Our class teacher is Miss Sykes and our teaching assistant is Miss Sanderson.
Year 1 Expectations.
Reading plays a vital role in every child’s development. It not only supports academic progress but also helps foster a lifelong love of reading for pleasure. We encourage all children to read at home at least three times per week. Reading can be recorded via the Learning with Parents webpage; https://explore.learningwithparents.com/
