Find out what ANGELFISH CLASS have been learning

Welcome!

A warm welcome to Angelfish Class from Ms Watson, Mrs Suleyman and Mrs Whalen.

Our curriculum

Leaving Reception behind and moving into year 1 can feel like a big step for both children and their parents. We make the transition as smooth as possible and the children will still be learning through play: exploring and discovering. However, over the course of the year, your child’s day will be a little more structured than it was in Reception and they may have to sit at a table for a little longer than they are used to but we still make sure that they move around while they are learning.

This will be your child's first year of the National Curriculum and there is a year 1 phonics screening check in June, which helps your child’s teacher identify if your child is secure in sounding out and blending graphemes. It also detects if they can read phonically decodable words. To find out more about the expectations for the year, please see our overview below:

P.E. days

Our PE days are Wednesday and Thursday. Please send your children to school wearing their PE clothes on these two days.
