Overview
In Key Stage One (and particularly Year 1) children experience a similar environment to that of the Early Years Foundation Stage to ensure there is a smooth transition between the year groups, increasing formality as they progress towards the end of Year 2. Once children have completed the Early Years Foundation Stage they follow the programmes of study from the National Curriculum and the Buckinghamshire Agreed Syllabus for Religious Education. Children participate in daily Read Write Inc, phonics lessons and daily guided reading sessions, which are set by ability and are additional to daily English and mathematics lessons.
We use Talk for Writing in our English lessons. All children are supported throughout the writing process. Staff model writing at every opportunity, as well as modelling editing skills. The ‘talk’ within our writing curriculum is a key component to creating confident and independent writers in all genres of writing, who are able to write with empathy and for effect.
Where appropriate, this is linked to an overall theme or topic which links other subjects (science, history, geography, music, art and design technology) together to help make learning engaging and relevant and to promote the development of key skills across the whole curriculum. Children listen to and read class stories and have opportunities to read a range of fiction and non-fiction books in class.
In Maths we follow the White Rose Scheme of work which develops the fundamental skills of fluency, reasoning and problem solving. Children are encouraged to explore challenges in a range of ways; pictorial, concrete and abstract. Resources are readily available in all classes to support children’s learning and we encourage children to independently self-access these resources to encourage independence.
