Year 1's Yearly Learning Journey
WELCOME to Year 1
The Year 1 curriculum builds upon and extends the experiences that children have had in Reception. The children will have a more formal learning environment in Year 1 but they will continue to learn through play, alongside being involved in exciting topics .Our favourite topics being roarsome dinosaurs, spectacular space and amazing animals. The topics are hands on and interactive and developing our children holistically is at the heart of our Year 1 ethos as can be seen in Year 1 Acorns video above.
Our favourite thing to do in Year 1 is to have a themed day I think the teachers love dressing up more than the children!
