  1. Welcome to Year 1Robins Information evening for parents and carers. 12thSePTEMBER 2019

  2. Moving from Reception Class • In Year 1 the children are moving from the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum into the National Curriculum. • We manage this transition very carefully and pace it for each child’s individual needs.

  3. EYFS to National Curriculum • Main change is that the EYFS is split into areas of learning and the National Curriculum is taught as subjects. • Teaching methods remain the same – learning through play, active learning and linking subjects through topics. • Children are expected to concentrate and focus for longer as they mature and become ready.

  4. Timetable and Weekly Information • Celebration assembly is on Fridays • PE is on Monday and Thursday afternoon. • Our Topic this term is ‘Turrets and Tiaras’ which covers mainly history and science. • Snack – Children are given a snack daily around 10.45 (please ensure you keep the school informed of any known allergies). Children may bring their own healthy snack too. • Kit – Please ensure children have a PE kit at school, all kit and school uniform must be named. • Show and Tell is on a Friday afternoon. • Library/Guided Reading is on Tuesday

  5. Maths • Counting to and across to 100, forward and backwards • Count, read and write numbers to 100 in numerals and write numerals in words to at least 20 • Addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and the relationship between • 2, 5 and 10 times tables, counting in multiples of 2’s, 5’s and 10’s • Fractions (half and quarter) in shapes and turns and recognise half of quantities • Place value • Number bonds • 1more/less and 10 more/less • Problem solving – adding, subtracting, doubling, halving, measures, money • 2D and 3D shapes • Data/sorting information – graphs, pictograms, tables • Capacity and Volume (full/half full) • Measurement – comparing lengths, heights, weight • Time –recognise and use language relating to dates, including days of the week, months and tell the time to the hour and half hour

Fiction: • Stories with familiar settings • Repeating patterns • Traditional tales • Fantasy stories Non-Fiction Units: • Instructions • Labels, lists and signs • Letters • Information texts Poetry Units: • Songs and repetitive poems • Pattern and rhyme • The Senses • Traditional Poems

  7. Phonics and Spelling • Within Key Stage 1 we teach Phonics using Sounds-Write. This starts from the sounds that we use in speech. From there, it takes them in carefully sequenced, incremental steps and teaches them how each of the 44 or so sounds in the English language can be spelt. • Each Monday we will send home spellings to be learned using the look, say, cover, write, check method • Every Monday the children will be tested on their spelling words

  8. Spelling

  9. Year 1 Phonics • Phonics is taught everyday, each week we will be introducing new sound or spelling pattern. • We follow ‘Sounds Write’ Scheme • Your child will be placed in a group most suited to their level of ability • that there is more than one way of spelling most sounds: the sound 'ae', spelt as <a-e> in 'name', can be represented as <a> in 'table', <ai> in 'rain', <eigh> in 'eight', <ay> in 'play', and so on • • that many spellings can represent more than one sound: <ea> can be the sound 'e' in 'head', 'a-e' in 'break', or 'ee' in 'seat’ • We will be holding a separate Phonics meeting for parents later in the term – please see Newsletter for the update

  10. Reading in y1 • We will be changing reading books everyday as long as they have been read, either at school or at home • Please, can you indicate the number of page your child finished reading in their reading record • It is very helpful if the reading book is in the book bag everyday even if they haven’t read at home the previous night; we will be able to read the book at school • Try to read everyday for 10-15 min if possible • Your child will also be reading in a group during our Guided Reading sessions once a week • In Y1 the children are becoming much more confident readers and so now its time to think about expression, intonation, fluency and comprehension. It is important that the children do not race ahead with decoding if these skills are not embedded.
