Year One - Engineer
Welcome to Y1!
Your Year 1 teacher is Miss Nielsen with our class teaching assistants Mrs Nelson and Mrs Dobson with Mrs Bold joining us on Fridays.
This year all classes are named after an aspirational careers and Year 1 will be class Engineer. We will be learning and discovering facts about engineers and their skills and job roles throughout the year.
In Year 1, our aim is to ensure that your child experiences a smooth transition from the Foundation Stage to Key Stage One and that the Year 1 curriculum builds upon and extends the experiences that your child has had in Reception. Learning through play both indoors and outdoors will continue to be an important part of the school day, and your child will gradually be eased into more formal learning as the year goes on so that they remain motivated, enthused, eager and independent learners
Pupils will start each day with Phonics then move onto English and Maths lessons. Science, History, Geography, P.E, DT, PSHE and other foundation subjects will be taught in the afternoons. For more subject-specific information please see our Curriculum Page or our Curriculum Map below.
