Year 1 – Starfish Class
In Year One we have so much fun and build on our learning and experiences as we move from the Early Years Foundation Stage.
We receive an ambitious, broad, and balanced curriculum which develops our independence, creative skills, and inquisitive minds. We learn best when we are actively engaged, the learning is relevant, and our interests are considered, so this features hugely in the lessons we experience in Year One.
One of our favourite experiences this year so far is when a police officer returned our gingerbread man! We were all so worried as he had been missing for a days. We love learning outside, our visits to the beach, the Sealife Centre and even our cinema experience! We also enjoy our drop it and read sessions and can often be found in strange places, such as under a table sharing a favourite book with a friend.
We follow the Little Wandle Letter and Sounds revised programme and soon become experts in phonics throughout the year. We work incredibly hard during our reading practice sessions and soon improve our fluency and prosody skills.
