Key Stage 1

Welcome to Key Stage 1! 

We have two Year 1 Classes and two Year 2 classes. Our Year 1 Classes are Owls and Rabbits and our Year 2 Classes are Hedgehogs and Foxes. See below for more information about our learning in KS1.  

 

Reading in Key Stage 1 

The ability to read is a fundamental life skill. Reading can introduce new vocabulary; it can support communication and language skills; and can help grow self-confidence and independence.

Book bags should be brought to school on Mondays and will be handed back on Tuesdays or Wednesdays. Before changing books, children are expected to read their book three times: One for decoding, one for comprehension, and one for prosody (expression and intonation). 

Children will also have the opportunity to visit the school library once a week to choose a book to share at home with an adult.
