Welcome to Year 1
Welcome to Year 1. Year 1 is an exciting time as the girls move away from the EYFS Curriculum and embark on our full preparatory curriculum, which includes Maths, Literacy, Science and our bespoke Integrated Curriculum. Children learn best when they can make connections to the work around them and link subjects together. The topics we teach are weaved to all corners of the curriculum so that we might be counting starfish in maths whilst writing about an undersea adventure in English.
- Miss Baxter, Pre-Prep Teacher (Year's 1 & 2)
Integrated Curriculum Topics have included:
- Autumn - Movers & Shakers
- Spring - Coastlines
- Summer - Magnificent Monarchs
