About Year 1

We wanted to let you know a little bit about what goes on in Year 1. 

We begin the year off with a play based curriculum and classroom (a little like Early Years), to help children settle in more readily to a new school year. 

The children take part in small group learning sessions as well as working independently on some tasks. 

They have access to outdoor provision, however this has a focus to it and will usually reflect the learning that is taking place inside the classroom.

As the year progresses, we begin having more formal lessons in the classroom and have more children working at one time. This will consist of two groups working with the adults in the classroom and two groups working independently. We will always make sure that all children work with the adults in the room on a rotation basis from day to day. 

Year one has a great, action packed curriculum for the children to access, and as teachers we always do our best to make sure this is doing in an exciting and engaging way!

Just because our lessons become more formal, doesn't mean the fun stops!

If you have any questions, please feel free to get in touch with us via the school office email office@gomersalprimaryschool.co.uk.

Thank you!
