Year One Still Having Fun!!
The children are continuing to access the new curriculum in a lively, fun and play based way. This will support them in their transition from Reception to Year 1.
They will continue to work and play in a variety of small groups, with partners or sometimes as a whole class.
Independent Learning Learning through play is still an important
part of curriculum. Learning is linked to Year 1 objectives
which you have been given in the handout. Children are still accessing their own
learning through continuous provision bases. More adult led and independent work is gradually introduced throughout the year.
Reading and Phonics Please send the reading bag and books every day. Please talk about the stories and ask Who?
What? When? Where? Why? Please practise “tricky” words which we will send
home shortly. We aim to read with the children and to change
books twice a week. Please sign your child’s reading record book each
time you hear them read. Daily phonics lessons following Year 1 Phonics
Letters and Sounds programme. Your child’s reading book matches the phonics they have been taught.
Outdoor learningOur own outdoor space provides
the children with many learning opportunities.

IndependenceThroughout Reception the children
have become increasingly independent, looking after own coats, bags etc.
In Year 1 we encourage this independence, as the children will only become really efficient in their learning if they are able to work and think for themselves.
Please encourage them to do as much for themselves as possible.
Home Learning Reading – please read for 10 minutes
with your child every night A homework pack will be sent home
shortly. Written homework will be sent home
once a week to support learning done in class.
Physical Education P.E day is Wednesday. The children come into school in their
P.E. kits and remain in them all day – velcro trainers if possible please!
How can you help?
Practise reading and phonics.
Counting and counting games – snakes and ladders etc
Encourage you child to be as independent as possible.
Help with correct letter formation and pencil grip
