Welcome to Year 1!

It is our pleasure to welcome you and your child on their new learning journey this year. We are looking forward to sharing this with you all. 

It is hard to believe that we are nearly at the end of Term 1 already. Although the children began with a combination of the EYFS and KS1 Curriculum, they are nicely transitioning into the Year 1 Curriculum. Of course there are some notable differences between the EYFS and KS1 Curriculums. The lessons are structured into separate subjects which allow the children to engage in a variety of hands on ways, but there is a greater emphasis on writing, reading and exploring mathematics on a daily basis, along with other timetabled subjects like science, art, geography, history, smsc/pshe/rshe spread throughout the week.

Berlin Class page will give you a snap-shot of these experiences throughout the year ahead. We hope you enjoy them!

Me, Myself and I

English

Year 1 began English by reading and following directions. They used directional language which had cross-curricular links to our geography map-work.

We read and followed more instructions to make our fruit faces. Then we enjoyed eating them!
