Year 1 and 2

 
In the morning years 1 and 2 are taught phonics/spelling, followed by a literacy and maths lesson each day. We follow the foundation curriculum in the afternoon, across a range of subjects, including Commando Joe's and PSHE. We attend beach school on Fridays and Sophie runs our PE lessons on Tuesdays. 
 
Key Information for Parents and Carers
  • Our P.E days will be on a Tuesday and Friday. Children come into school in their P.E kit on those days.
  • Children must read at least 3 times each week to be green. This contributes to their green time each Friday. Reading is to be recorded on 'boom reader' or their reading record so they can be monitored throughout the week. 
  • Reading and paper phonics books along with reading records are to be brought into school each Thursday so they can be changed and sent out each Friday. 
  • Children's learning and regular updates will be updated onto Seesaw also.
