PE Days
PE lessons will usually take place on Tuesday & Friday, although this may occasionally change due to school events and activities. As the children wear their school uniform throughout the day, any changes to PE arrangements should not cause any issues
Outdoor Learning
Every Tuesday but please have wellies in school at all times in case we go out at other times.
Reading
In Phonics, children read their story books three times at school and then take a similar book home to read. This helps to develop their confidence and fluency as well as encouraging them to focus more on their comprehension, punctuation and expression. Children need to have their reading book and reading record in school every day. This is changed each Friday, and children also have the option of choosing a book from our reading corner which can be changed on any day. Our main homework in Oak Class is to read this book daily in order to practise these skills. All children are expected to read for at least 10 minutes and parents/ carers are asked to keep a log of their reading in their Reading Record.
As the year goes on, Y1 children will bring home Phonics packs with tailored challenges to support them with their Phonics at home. You can also support your child by practising their red words and Set 2 and 3 Special Friends.

Maths
In Year 1, children develop their confidence and fluency in mathematics through practical, engaging, and hands-on learning experiences. They build their understanding of number, counting, place value, addition and subtraction, while also exploring shape, measurement, and problem-solving. Children are encouraged to explain their thinking, use mathematical language, and apply their skills in a range of real-life contexts, helping them become confident and enthusiastic mathematicians
