Welcome to Year 1!
Welcome to Year 1 and to the beginning of Key Stage 1. In Year, the children experience so many exciting learning opportunities through the curriculum subjects of Phonics, Reading, Writing, Maths, Art, DT, Computing, History, Geography, RE, PE, PSHE and Science. Topics are linked to these subjects to provide a relevant, cross-curricular approach to the children’s learning, catering for all learners
Transition
At Knaphill Lower School, children join Year One following the familiar daily routines and free flow learning they have enjoyed in the EYFS. Activities are set up to support learning objectives and allow children to explore and learn through hands on experiences whilst teaching staff support, question and challenge children’s learning. Mornings typically involve fun practical Maths and interactive English lessons followed by foundation subject in the afternoons.
The outdoor classroom, including the Woodland Enclave, is still of great importance and will be used as often as possible to enhance learning. In order to promote an active and healthy lifestyle, the children partake in two P.E. lessons a week, as well as having the opportunity to be involved in extra-curricular sporting activities.
PE
On the days the children have PE, they will need to come to school dressed in their PE kits.
