How is KS1 different to the Foundation Stage?

• Children are taught subjects more discretely. There will be whole class lessons in one subject- literacy, maths, topic etc.

• This often begins and ends with a carpet time, and then children work at tables. This may be independently or with an adult.

• In year one particularly, the work still takes on a practical approach- for example literacy lessons involve drama, role play, group work, creative activities as well as writing.

Healthy Schools

• Morning tuck- Children can buy tuck in school (30p) with a choice of fruits and plain/flavoured milk or bring fruit in (please name).

• Milk can be ordered online.
