Welcome to Year 1

Welcome to Year 1 Miss Robinson

Aims for Year 1 We want our children to… be happy! achieve their full potential. enjoy learning in lots of different ways. be independent and considerate in the classroom. develop further skills that will encourage them to ask questions and find answers.

Key Stage 1 (Years 1 & 2) Year 1 is the year when the systems and “ways of doing things” at Excalibur really begins. All that I begin to do is in line with school policies. Planners will be seen on a weekly basis on your child’s guided reading day.

Key Stage 1 (Years 1 & 2) Please ask your child to hand their planner to me first thing in the morning if there is a message I need to see that day – or ring the office!

National Curriculum English, Maths, Computing, Science, P.E. History, Geography, Art, Music, Design & Technology and R.E. These subjects are mostly taught through a termly theme (letter) Statutory phonics screenings in June Children are assessed at the end of Key Stage 1 (Year 2)
