Welcome to Year 1.

 

In Year 1 at Beaumont Academy.

We support children in developing a love for learning through a variety of creative ways. At Beaumont we believe in ‘adventures in learning’ as this is particularly promoted by outdoor learning. We support children with the transition from Reception to Year 1 through offering an enjoyable and balanced curriculum through adult led learning and independent learning opportunities. We encourage the children to become more independent learners, try new things and achieve their best.

At Beaumont Primary Academy, we follow the national curriculum:

 Year 1 curriculum overview

English

Phonics

Children are taught to read by breaking down words into separate sounds or ‘phonemes’. They are then taught how to blend these sounds together to read the whole word. Children have a phonics lesson each day. Every Year 1 child in the country will be taking the Government’s phonics screening check in June; at the end of every half term we do this phonics screening check at school.

 

Reading

Children use their phonics knowledge in their reading. In year 1 children take part in a guided reading session every day where they will begin to recognise and join in with predictable phrases and relate their reading to their own experiences. Children re-tell stories with and will create predictions on the basis of what has already been read. In year 1, children look at fiction and non-fiction texts and have opportunities to read aloud with pace and expression.

 

Writing

Writing in year 1 begins with children correctly forming lower and upper-case letters, and children practise this during handwriting sessions. Children will then begin to write sentences using conjunctions to join ideas (e.g. so, but, and). They will be introduced to capital letters, full stops and finger spaces as well as exclamation and question marks.

This will develop into children writing a sequence of sentences to form short narratives.

 

Maths

The transition from Reception to Year 1 sees a greater emphasis on arithmetic, and written (as well as mental) methods.

The national curriculum end of year expectations for year 1 maths:

• Count to and across 100, forwards & backwards from any number.
• Read and write numbers to 20 in numerals & words.
• Read and write numbers to 100 in numerals.
• Say 1 more/1 less to 100.
• Count in multiples of 2, 5 & 10.
• Use bonds and subtraction facts to 20.
• Add & subtract 1 digit & 2 digit numbers to 20, including zero.
• Solve one-step multiplication and division using objects, pictorial representation and array
• Recognise half and quarter of object, shape or quantity.

• Sequence events in chronological order.
• Use language of day, week, month and year.
• Tell time to hour & half past.

At Beaumont Primary, Children count daily using chants and use numbers in context (e.g. how many children are here today?). Children use practical resources to understand new contexts and have opportunities to do hands-on learning before recording their work.

Children have weekly arithmetic sessions to support fluency, as well as problem solving sessions to support their understanding.

 Alongside half-termly teacher judgements, Children undertake Standardised testing at the end of every term in Maths and English.

 Every day children are taught Phonics, English and Mathematics. Throughout the week we engage in topic work, PE, RE, PSHE, art, DT and music. We also have a weekly spelling check,

For RE we follow the Kirklees syllabus.

We are strongly aware of the importance of reading therefore we read every day at Beaumont Academy, through group reading, individual reading, story time and reading for pleasure.
