Our Curriculum
Class 1 cover a range of interesting topics across the school year. The topic overview below gives an insight to some of the activities your child will be participating in and experiencing each term.
Continuous Provision
Our provision is developed with the children. We plan together, sharing the children’s ideas and interests. The children are able to make choices and develop their own ideas. We aim to provide a wide variety of relevant and worthwhile experiences that challenge the children. This enables the children to developing their skills, knowledge and understanding.
P.E.
Our P.E. lessons are on a Tuesday and Friday. Please make sure your child has their P.E. kit in school and it is named.
Phonics
We teach phonics daily using Essential Letters and Sounds. Every day, the children will have a range of opportunities to practise the sounds in school. These will also be sent home.
Reading
At Castleside Primary School, we aim to foster a love of reading and to increase exposure to different types of texts. Through regular reading, we aim to practise the new sounds which are taught daily in phonics, and to apply this to their reading.
Homework
Homework is given out on a Friday and can be completed during the week. We are introducing an activity grid for Year 1. Pick one activity each week to complete. You can upload your work to Class Dojo. Please read daily with your child. Daily reading is essential and Dojos will be given everytime you read at home.
