Year 1
The children study a range of books from Paddington Bear and The Day the Crayons Quit, to Stick Man and We’re Going on a Bear Hunt. From exploring these texts, the children focus on different aspects of the curriculum. For example, whilst studying The Day the Crayons Quit, they investigate a Recount/Diary and focus on the suffix -er and exclamation marks.
During Year 1 we follow the Phonics programme of Read Write inc, which encourages the children to learn their graphemes in an entertaining and through scheme.
Year 2
The children study a range of books from fiction books likeTraditional Tales like Hansel and Gretel to Non-fiction books on topics like pets and dinosaurs. From studying these books, the children then focus on different aspects of the curriculum. For example, whilst studying Diary of a Wombat the children produce their own diaries focusing on apostrophes for possession and compound words.
During Year 2 we follow the Phonics programme of Read Write inc, which encourages the children to learn their alternate graphemes in an entertaining and through scheme.
