KS1

The Key Stage 1 Curriculum at

Manea Community Primary School

 

Curriculum Coverage

In Key Stage 1 we ensure that in the core subjects of English, Maths and Science, the National Curriculum objectives for Year 1 and Year 2 are delivered to the children in line with the year group they are currently in.

For the Foundation subjects, we have a two-year rolling cycle so that by the time the children finish the Key Stage, they have covered the objectives for both year groups. 

 

 

We are currently in Cycle B.

Core Texts

Each half-term, our learning across the curriculum is based around core quality texts. This year, some of our texts include Traction Man, Toys in Space, Rapunzel, Supertato and The Great Fire of London. Our core texts form the basis for lots of our busy learning challenges as well as our independent writing activities. 

 

English

In Autumn term we will be setting our expectations for writing and will be practising writing lists, labels and captions.  We will then be starting a unit on the Place Value of Punctuation and Grammar. Each term we will explore different text types, including non-chronological reports, recounts, poetry, instructions and setting descriptions.  For each text type we will spend time exploring and enjoying the new text, before planning and writing our own. The final stage will be to edit and improve our work.

 

Maths

For our Maths learning in Key Stage 1, we follow the guidance set out in the White Rose scheme. We love White Rose because it breaks Maths learning down into 'small steps' to help the children make progress, and also has a clear focus on the application of skills and the concept of Maths 'mastery'.

Phonics

All children in Year 1 will participate in daily Phonics lessons. As a school, we follow the Little Wandle SSP. Once children have completed their Phonics journey, usually at the end of Year 1, they will begin the Little Wandle Bridge to Spelling and will be introduced to new spelling rules.
