In Class 1 we continue primarily learning through play, as we embark on the first steps of the National Curriculum.
We have daily phonics sessions, which include early reading and writing opportunities and prepare the children for the National Phonics screening at the end of Year 1.
In maths we learn how to create number sentences, using practical apparatus and explore shape and space. Animals, materials and plants are the topics covered in science. Our History curriculum includes learning about old toys and Kings and Queens from the past; and in Geography we explore our local area and beyond.
By the end of Year 1 we endeavour to become more independent learners and build on the early skills we have learnt.

This morning we checked our rain gauge and had a look how much water it had collected. We also checked the weekly weather forecast and thought about which day might be the wettest this week. #y1geography
