What we are going to cover: Introduction to Year 1 The New National Curriculum End of year expectations Topic overview Timetable Reading Phonics Screening Check Homework Other information Question time

An introduction to Year 1: We build upon key skills and learning from Reception. Elements of Literacy and Mathematics are introduced in Early Years which are then developed more extensively in Year 1. We recognise that Key Stage 1 (Infants Year 1/2) is different from the Foundation Stage and therefore we aim to manage the transition from Reception to Year 1 in a gradual, staged approach, which allows the children to adapt during the Autumn Term.

Phonics Screening Check In Year 1, the children are required to take the Phonics Screening Check in June. This checks the children’s ability to blend the sounds we have covered in real and unknown (alien) words. During the check each child will sit with a teacher and read aloud the 40 words contained in the check. We will share the results from the check by a letter at the end of the summer term. Phonics workshop and information meeting in the Spring Term.
