Welcome to Key Stage 1

Entering Key Stage 1 is an exciting time where children begin their learning journey with the National Curriculum and develop an increasing independence. Topics covered are creative and enrich their understanding of the world around them. Many topics are based locally such as geography topics about Brotton village and the Victorian seaside town of Saltburn.

We have two Year 2 classes, and one Year 1 class. We all work together and cover the same topics, working on a 2 year rolling programme.

Homework

Children should read at home regularly and have access to Mathletics & Numbots.

All children will begin Key Stage 1 on the Read, Write, Inc. Phonics programme. Their groups will be reassessed approximately every 6 weeks or sooner if needed. Children on this programme will bring home reading books closely matched to their phonic knowledge.

Please encourage your child to read regularly and a parent/carer to sign the Reading Record each time they have read. This will help your child to progress and receive whole school and class rewards.
