To find out more about what we learn this term click on the link below to see our Autumn Term planner

Autumn Term

The Curriculum Page on the website helps you find out much more about each of the subjects too. 

Our Knowledge mats can be downloaded from the files at the bottom of the page so you can see exactly what the "sticky knowledge" is we want the children to learn.  You can access both autumn term and spring term so you can revisit previous learning.

Please update yourself with the Teaching and Learning in Year 1 document you can download at the bottom of this page.  It has lots of information about our day, what we learn and how we learn.  The timetable for a usual week in Year 1 can be downloaded too.
