“Mistakes are opportunities to learn.” Anon

Hello and thank you for visiting Year 1’s class page!

Please keep visiting this page for updates on our learning journey and all of the exciting topics we will be learning about. In Year 1, we follow the children’s interests and ensure all of the subjects taught in our National Curriculum link to the theme for the half term. We work together as a team, persevering and always trying our very best.

Y1 Long Term Plan

Our long term plan ensures coverage of each subject area across the curriculum and is monitored by each subject leader alongside a range of other monitoring tasks that ensure coverage and progression. Teachers may change the order of some topics where there is justification to do so, but will still ensure coverage of all topics across all subject areas.

At St Joseph’s, we are incredibly grateful for the invaluable support that our parents and carers provide for our pupils. We know how well our families have been able to adapt to home learning so now that we can welcome all of our pupils back to school, we wanted to provide opportunities for our pupils to continue their learning at home, if they choose to. The homework given will prepare and support your child’s learning across the curriculum each half term. The homework tasks below are optional.
