Welcome to Year 1! Welcome to the autumn term in year 1! This term is a transitional term for the children, slowly moving from an EYFS timetable onto the National Curriculum. Although the children will be introduced to formal learning, there will also be plenty of opportunities for continuous provision (choosing/playing to the children!) The children will do phonics and mental maths every day, the same as they are used to in reception. They will have two English sessions and two maths sessions across the week with lots of English and maths opportunities in the continuous provision throughout the week. The afternoons in autumn 1 will look like this... All of these sessions will be short 25-30 minute sessions to allow the children lots of opportunities to still choose. Alongside this, one afternoon the children will have a short spelling session with two short handwriting sessions. We will also have a weekly music session. Please see below to see what a general timetable will look like, this is subject to change due to what else is going on in school each week.
