From Nursery to Primary : Learning Pathway in Year 1
What does a Year 1 class look like at Wellington College International Hangzhou?
Year 1 is the year that the children transition from following the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum, to the English National Curriculum. This is the foundation for all core subjects and foundation subjects, such as science, history and geography. The foundations subjects are taught through a range of exciting and inspiring themes. Throughout the day, the children are taught by a range of teachers, including the Year 1 Year homeroom teacher and specialists, who teach lessons in Mandarin, music, PE, swimming, ICT, art and drama.
Throughout Year 1, the children will have the opportunity to further extend their existing knowledge of phonics. This is taught through a scheme called Read Write Inc which supports children to be able to read accurately and fluently with a good comprehension. This also ensures children develop their spelling, letter formation and handwriting. During English lessons, the children will be exposed to a range of text types and be able learn through exciting stories, thus supporting good writing development.
During maths lessons, the children will have numerous opportunities to explore new concepts through practical learning tasks. This will help to support their understanding in each area of maths and guarantee enjoyment of the subject. They will begin to learn about measure, time and fractions alongside continuing to learn how to add, subtract, multiply and divide. New concepts ensure that the children will also become familiar with counting in twos, fives and tens and knowing how to use strategies to support halving and doubling.
