Reading Reading Planners now stay in school. Comprehension skills are taught weekly and it is important that this is carried on at home. Children should be able to share their understanding of a text through discussion and answering questions. . Reading at School Children will be heard read once or twice a week and their planner will be signed. Books will be changed weekly and children will have the option of reading their Reading Challenge book. Reading interventions will take place for those children that are struggling to blend and need to develop fluency or understanding. Key Words Year 1 Common Exception Words are an interim standard meaning children MUST be able to read and write them correctly. These are being sent home in the packs and are also the spellings for the first half term.
English Spellings are set on spelling shed weekly and children must practice them for the spelling test. Expectations of presentation work must be of consistently high presentation in all lessons. Cursive handwriting is an expectation throughout school. Children are taught how to form letters with correct lead and joining lines as this allows them to join easily when they are ready. It is also an interim target that letters are formed correctly. WOW writing events Every year we have a variety of WOW Writing events, we aim to immerse the children in a scenario or situation that will engage them in creative writing. Phonics is taught daily. Children now taught as a whole class. The statutory phonics test will take place in June. Should children fail they will need to retake it in year 2 and will be unable to achieve a Secure score in year 1 reading.
Maths Securing 20, then 100. Children must be able to read, write and count numbers to 100 by the end of year 1. We start with numbers to 20 and build throughout the year. Mastery approach We have adopted a maths mastery approach. This means that all children are taught and kept together in teaching and learning. Children will practice a strategy and this will then be applied to real life problems and reasoning questions in the same lesson. Presentation of work expectations of presentation are high. Children are expected to form numbers correctly and write in the squares in their books. For all drawing children should use a ruler and this will be practiced in class. Number bonds & Multiplication Tables in year 1 children learn their number bonds to 20 and their 2, 5 and 10 multiplication tables. We teach this throughout the year, however it should also be practiced regularly at home.
Homework Although homework books now won t be sent home the expectation is still the same, children should complete one or two pieces of homework a week. Homework will be set online and children will access it using the passwords that are sent home on a laminated sheet. Weekly Spellings will be set using Spelling Shed.
