Our Classroom
Our classroom is designed to help us with our learning.
Our learning across the year...
In Maths...
We follow the White Rose Maths scheme. Our focus will change depending on the unit we are completing. The focus of our maths lessons is to develop the fundamental skills the children need to build on as they progress through the school. Throughout each unit of work, there will be an emphasis on the depth of understanding in key concepts and the application of mathematical knowledge to a variety of different contexts.
In English...
As a school we follow The Write Stuff. Our work in The Write Stuff tends to be based around a text (picture book, example text or poem). We ‘sentence stack’ each lesson to allow the children the opportunity to practice ‘good’ writing before moving onto the independent write to finish off the unit. These writing opportunities at the end of each unit allow for the children to put what they have learned into practice with scaffolding to promote greater writing independence as they get more confident. Our first unit in Year 1 is focused on the book written by Steve Anthony called ‘The Queen’s Hat’
In Phonics...
We will follow the Sounds Write programme. Each week we will begin a new unit and build the sounds into what we have already introduced.

Friendly reminders
Our PE days are Tuesday and Friday. Children should have their PE kit in school every day.
PE kits should consist of a plain white t-shirt, a dark pair of shorts/tracksuit bottoms and a sensible pair of sports shoes (daps or trainers). It is important to include something warm to wear as well because our PE lesson will be outside once a week. Make sure to clearly label every item of clothing and footwear to avoid items being lost.
