Year 1 (KS1)Our curriculum is based around the core elements of the National Curriculum, alongside the principles of BLP, SMSC and British Values. We want our children to grow into exceptional learners as well as exemplary members of society.
In this section you can find information about the curriculum being taught in Year 1, including an overview of the topics throughout the year as well as more detailed information about what is taught term by term. |

Yearly Curriculum Overview.
We use the "Floppy's Phonics" scheme for the teaching and learning of phonics throughout Year 1, with particular focus on completing Phases 3, 4 & 5 knowledge and understanding. For further information, please follow this link.
To support the teaching of Reading we have fidelity to one scheme, provided by ORT, that has direct links with the phonics teaching and learning, and is designed to help children develop their phonic knowledge, comprehension and speaking & listening skills.
Alongside this, children read for pleasure regularly and also in guided sessions, where the focus is on developing the specific reading content domains.

School Closure Provision:
As we begin what would have been the Summer Term, we wanted to write and let you know some more information about how we intend to move forward with finding that all important balance of ‘home-learning’ and ‘being at home’.
We have spent some time working out how best to do this and the staff are now going to be updating the Class Pages on our school website with suggested tasks, activities, videos and/or links to learning every week. These will be available from the Monday morning and are for you to access and complete when, and as, it suits. We are conscious that many of you are trying to balance working from home with caring for your children and so have deliberately chosen not to propose a rigid timetable or expectations of when work should be done. This, hopefully, provides you with the flexibility to respond to your child/ren’s needs and wants, as well as fitting around your work, and will ensure that no-one feels pressured or anxious about how much or how little they are doing at home.

A message from Mrs Salmon & Mrs Barratt Hello everyone, we do hope you are all well and had a nice half term. I went for lots of walks with Mr Salmon and my boys and Mrs Barratt played in the garden with her little boy, getting out the paddling pool and having lots of water fun! As you might know, some classes will be returning back next week, on the 8th of June, with Year 1 being one of them. If you decide to come back then Mrs Barratt and I can’t wait to see you. However, if you are staying at home, we completely understand and will miss you very much. The last couple of months have been challenging in so many ways but we want you to know how proud we are of you all and how much we have missed you, especially your laughter and your beautiful smiles. Click here to read our letter for the start of the Summer Term. |

Week Eleven (01/06/2020)
Online Safety
The current situation means that we find ourselves all spending much more time accessing and/or using online platforms and resources in order to do our job, or to support our children with their 'home learning'. This creates additional worries around Online Safety and so we just wanted to point you in the right direction for guidance and advice when it comes to ensuring that both you, and your children, are as safe as can be.
The government has this week released information about keeping children safe online, which you can read here.
The supplementary guidance, specific to 'what you can do to stay safe online', can be read here.
We would also signpost you to our Online Safety page, which has a wealth of information on it. Click here.
Remember - You CAN do any of the activities from previous weeks as well, if you didn't get chance.

Purple Mash this week has a couple of new ‘2dos’. There is one called ‘Fractonio’s pizzeria, all about fractions and ‘A-fish-metric’ which helps with your mental maths.
Please also feel free to use the email facility on Purple Mash if you would like another way of sending Mrs Barratt and me messages.
Existing programs are still on for you to have a go at. www.purplemash.com/sch/george-b92
As always, keep practising your times tables, using TT Rockstars. (We are aware that this is an area that we haven’t covered much of yet in school, so please do not worry if your child finds this challenging. Please continue to concentrate on counting in 2’s,5’s and 10’s and we will support them with this when they return to school)

Week Ten - Half Term (25/05/2020)
It has been an incredibly hard couple of months for everyone, in whatever capacity, therefore we are not setting any directed work or activities for you over what would have been the half term break. This is a conscious decision to enable you, your parents and the staff to stop, take a break, relax, regroup and refresh before we begin again at the start of June, in whatever format that may take, based on the latest Government guidance.
If you would like to carry on and complete some activities during this time, please scroll back and do some of the activities set previously if you didn't manage them at the time, or you can use some of the wonderful online resources that we signposted for you right at the start of this period - these links are all at the bottom of this page. There is also educational provision being offered through:
- JIGSAW PSHE: A link to the 'Calm Me' audio file that we would use within the classroom to support the children with Mindfulness.
- BBC Bitesize: A range of different resources, lessons and activities aimed at specific age ranges.
- Department for Education recommended online provision list.
- Oak National Academy: An online portal providing virtual lessons (DfE recommended).
- Robin Hood Academy: An academy in our region providing a range of online learning resources and projects.
From Monday, 1st June we will resume posting online resources to support you, and your child/ren, with 'Home Learning', however the format this takes will begin to evolve from that point onwards, to reflect our increasing 'in-school' provision.
Have a good week.

This week we are learning about measurement and in particular ‘weighing’. If we were in school, we would have used balancing scales to measure the weight of different objects against non-standard units such as plastic counting cubes. At home, perhaps you could use dried pasta instead.
Click on this link https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-1/ to take you to the White Rose ‘home learning’ website. Close the red box with ‘Summer Term – Week 3 (w/c 4th May)’ on it and you will see the red box with ‘Week 1’ on it. Click on this and it will take you to 3 lessons on weight and mass. Lesson 1 - Introduce weight and mass, Lesson 2 - Measure mass and Lesson 3 - Compare mass. Each lesson has a video and an activity that you can have a go at.
This PowerPoint may also be helpful: Comparing weight.pptx
These two online games ask you to think about which object is heavier or lighter.

In Art this week we are looking at colour. Vincent Van Gogh really focused on colour in his paintings. He looked at how colours can make us feel warm and happy but also make us feel cold and sad. What colours come to mind when you think of something hot? If you were cold, what colours would you think of?
Here is a colour wheel that shows all the different colours that go together. Can you complete your own colour wheel? The colour wheel.docx
Next, have a go at working out which colours, when mixed together, create new colours? Colour mixing.docx
Now try the Colour Mixing song.
Here are two pictures of Van Goghs’ flowers. hot and cold.docx One picture depicts warm colours and the other cold colours. Have a go at drawing your own warm and cold pictures of some flowers in a vase or colour in the two pictures, of Van Gogh’s flowers, that I have attached here. Van Gogh colouring.docx

This term we are learning all about ‘Traditional Tales’. Can you find any ‘Traditional Tales’ at home to read? Here is a list of ‘Traditional Tales’ that you may have at home:
- Cinderella
- The Three Little Pigs
- Goldilocks and the Three Bears
- Jack and the Beanstalk
This week we would like you to read the story of ‘Little Red Riding Hood’. Do not worry if you haven’t got a copy, we have included a PowerPoint of the story for you to read at home.
Then using the worksheet included, we would like you to create a character profile for Little Red Riding Hood and/or the Big Bad Wolf. There are lots of ideas to support you with this on the sheet.
History
This half term in History we have a really exciting new topic … ‘Toys’.
Over the next few weeks we will be learning about toys, both old and new. To start our topic, we would like you to choose your favourite toy and create an information page about it. You can do this using the template provided, or you can present your work using any form you wish. Then we would like you to investigate whether your chosen toy was around in Victorian times or whether they had anything similar. Happy investigating Year 1 Historians!
Science
This half term we will be learning all about ‘Plants and Growing’ this is a great opportunity for you to get into the garden, or if it is safe to do so, go on a daily walk to have a look at the plants and flowers that grow in your local area. Using the PowerPoint included, we would like you to think about what a seed needs to grow. Create a poster using pictures and labels about what a seed needs to grow - use the template or create your own. You could even ask your family if they have any spare seeds and you could have a go at growing something at home.
