Class Teacher - Harriet Stone
Welcome to our Year 1 class page
Welcome to Year 1 at Dove Bank Primary School. As your child begins in key stage 1, this is an exciting and important year, filled with opportunities to learn, grow and prepare for the next stage of education.
In Year 1, we encourage every child to embrace our core values. To aspire to achieve our very best, show resilience when facing challenges, and treat everyone with kindness and respect. Through engaging learning experiences, teamwork and a positive mindset, we aim to help every pupil develop confidence, independence and a love of learning.
Here you can find useful information about your child's learning for the year and top tips to support your child at home as they begin their learning in year 1. They will continue to use our phonics scheme Little Wandle to support their understanding of phonics.
At the bottom of this page, you will find access to the long-term overview to see all the exciting learning opportunities that we have planned throughout the year, as well as the homework grid and curriculum map for this term.
