Year 1 Curriculum Overview

Year 1:

In our Year 1 classroom, children enjoy a structured, engaging day that builds strong foundations for learning. Each morning includes Little Wandle phonics, a Talk for Writing English lesson, Mastering Number, a Little Wandle reading session, and a practical White Rose Maths lesson. Throughout the morning, children take part in regular movement breaks to help them stay focused, regulated and ready to learn.
After lunch, the children take part in our daily tooth‑brushing routine before a focused handwriting session. The afternoon is dedicated to wider‑curriculum learning, with lessons across Art, Design and Technology, Music, Science, PE, History, Geography, Computing and Jigsaw PSHE. Movement breaks continue to be used flexibly throughout the afternoon to support children’s wellbeing and engagement.
Our Year 1 classroom is a warm, purposeful space where children grow in confidence, independence and curiosity throughout the day.
