Year 1

Our school helps us to walk with Jesus, to be the best that we can be.  Through God’s love and guidance, we create an ethos of shared endeavour, friendship and co-operation to help us flourish academically, emotionally and spiritually.

“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:13

During this year your child will build upon the skills they have developed in EYFS, gaining further independence and confidence. Phonics will continue to be of high importance in order to develop our reading and writing skills.

We will enhance our learning about the world through exciting creative curriculum topics based on enquiry such as; Do Penguins Sunbathe? Why was London Rebuilt? Are all plants the same? What did my grandparents play with? Are we united? How can a map help me find my way? Our learning will be supported through play in our exciting role play areas which change to link to each of our themes.

Throughout the year there will be opportunities for enrichment’s including visits to museums, theatres and special visitors coming to work with us in the classroom.
