Our teacher is Mrs Mavin and we are supported by Miss Edington. We are also taught on a Wednesday afternoon by Mrs Wilkinson.

Our Learning

Class 1 at Collierley Primary School is a seamless transition for the children who have accessed our fantastic EYFS provision. We aim to build upon the learning environment, experiences and skills children have had in reception, whilst supporting them to emotionally acclimatise to Year 1. During this year, the children will begin to take ownership over their learning and take on a range of different opportunities during child-led learning (continuous provision) to develop their independence, resilience and self-motivation. We will support all pupils through this inclusive curriculum while accessing high quality environments indoors and outdoors.

Children are totally involved in their learning and are given choices about the activity that they want to focus on. Children on a weekly or daily basis are consulted on activities and resources that could go into the different areas of learning.

School LTP 2020-2021 Class 1

Currently in class 1 we have 10 areas of learning

• Reading Area
• Construction
• Art and creative
• Maths
• Role play
• Small World
• Malleable
• Fine Motor
• Phonics and spelling
• Computer Area

Each day, children learn through either a small adult led activity, child-led investigation, or by choosing from  planned activities which consists of independent activities initiated by the teacher (linked to curriculum coverage and progression). Children manage their own time, to ensure they have completed all activities by the end of the  week.   ‘Planning time ‘and ‘Review time’ each day, play an important role in developing good thinking habits and developing more independent learners.

Basic skills of reading, writing and mathematics are also an integral  part within our classroom setting . Our learning environment allows  children to develop and use these skills on a daily basis in all areas plus the addition of planned focussed English and maths teaching, but the integrity of these skills ensures they are viewed by the children as relevant to their lives, with meaning and purpose.

Every day, children are given the opportunity to manage information, solve problems and make decisions, make connections, be creative, self-manage, work with others and value others ideas, resulting in independent and resilient children
