Our Year One classrooms are dynamic, well resourced learning spaces. They share a large outside area which children are able to access throughout the day. The children's days are a mix of whole class direct instruction, small group guided work or individual practice with an adult and time for children to use the environment independently.

Children have opportunities to; experiment with scientific concepts, engage with computing, make artwork, experience the natural world, design and create structures and models, explore scenarios through role play and learn how to work with different materials.  Resources to support and extend the children’s reading, writing and mathematical concepts are always available to use. 

We hope your children will enjoy the various activities and learning throughout the year. If you have any questions about how we work in Year 1 or have anything that you would like talk about then please feel free to drop in and see us.

Our Learning

We have created a curriculum overview which gives you information about the core knowledge that your child will be learning in each subject. These will be published each half-term and can be downloaded below. 

If you would like advice about the work that your child is completing, you can contact their teacher. Please only email during the term time, working week. Teachers will respond to you within 3 working days of the email being sent, unless exceptional circumstances prevent this. In  this case, another member of staff will respond to you. 

Urgent messages (e.g change to collection arrangements) should be sent via the office by phone or by emailing  info@sendcofe.co.uk

Please continue to let the office know of absence or illness in the usual way.
