Transition from Foundation stage to
year 1
It has proved to be a very different year so far.  We hope this
presentation will help to introduce you to year 1 and provide
you with a little more information.
We completely understand that our
Foundation Unit is an integral part of
our primary school and children really
do benefit their time in Foundation.
Unfortunately due to the current
circumstances, year 1 may look slightly
different this year but we will try to
make the transition as smooth as
possible.
The school day
 
School starts at 8.55 am.  Door open at
8.45 am and the time your child needs
to be in school.
(doors open at 8.45 am and close at
8.55 am)
If the doors have closed you will need
to bring your child in through the main
entrance.
Lunchtime is from 12.00 pm to 13.00
pm
School finishes at 3.15 pm
Our school day
In normal circumstances we would spend the first week teaching
the children the routines of year 1. This would look very different
from Foundation as they would be required to spend more time
seated especially in the morning during Maths and English.
However, we are mindful that the children moving up will not all be
ready for this so are changing our timetable for the first few weeks
and will revisit this timetable fortnightly to see where the children
are at.
We will factor in short bursts of English and Maths as they would
receive in the Foundation unit but these will not be as formal as in
previous years.
 
Children work in groups
As the children move into Year 1 they will be expected to complete
short tasks in each of the subjects containing listening skills,
reading, writing and practical activities.
After a few weeks the children will gradually work towards longer
periods of concentration but be assured this will only take place
when we feel the children are ready for this!
 
An introduction to Year 1.
We build upon key skills and learning from Reception.
Elements of Literacy and Mathematics are introduced in Early Years which are
then 
developed more extensively 
in Year 1.
We recognise that Key Stage 1 (Infants Year 1/2) is different from the
Foundation Stage and therefore we aim to manage the transition from
Reception to Year 1 in a 
gradual, staged approach
, which allows the children
to adapt during the first half term.
 
What will the school day roughly
look like?
Our intended timetable for September.
 
English – Reading and Writing
As we move through the year children will be exposed to the
English Curriculum which includes the following areas;
Word Reading and Comprehension.
Handwriting
Composition
Vocabulary, Grammar and Punctuation.
 
English – Reading.
A
 School reading book 
is a book that your child can take home to read but must be brought to school daily.
We recommend that your child reads each book 3 times before it is changed.
1. To introduce the story and make predictions on what they think it is about. Is it fiction/non fiction?
2. To focus on fluency and sounding out of any tricky words
3. To answer simple comprehension questions on what they have just read.
Books will then be changed in school. Children are encouraged to read at least 4 times a week. Children have a chance
to win a weekly prize.
Guided reading – 
This is reading in a group with an adult. This book is more difficult and is done in school.
 
Phonics Screening Check 
In Year 1, the children are required to take the Phonics Screening Check in
June.
This checks the children’s ability to blend the sounds we have covered in real
and unknown (alien) words.
Information about this is given later in the year.
 
Maths
The Maths Curriculum includes the following areas;
Number and Place Value
Addition and Subtraction
Multiplication and Division
Fractions
Measurement
Properties of Shape
Position and Direction
 
Attendance
 
Please make sure your child attends regularly
Attendance is a commitment by you and your child and
establishes routines
All children should expect to achieve 100% attendance.
Research shows that children who achieve expected
attendance levels set these standards throughout life.
 
Emergency contacts
If your child is unwell at school or suffers an injury we will contact you
immediately. If the injury is minor we will issue an accident note to take
home.
Please
 make sure we are kept up to date with new telephone numbers and
other contact details.
We will try each telephone number you provide until we can contact
someone.
We will ensure that your child is well looked after until you are able to
collect him/her.
We will never discharge your child into the care of anyone who is not on
your contact list.
(this also applies at the end of the school day)
Your child’s security &
safety
We take your child’s safety very seriously
We will only dismiss your child to a known
adult i.e. someone who is already on your
contact list.  If someone else, who is not on
your contact list
, 
comes to collect your child
,
we will not permit this until we have spoken
with you personally.
Please let the school know if:-
You would like someone else to collect
your child
Any of your details have changed –
address, telephone number etc.
Our open door policy
We are always ready to listen:-
If you have any concerns
We are here to help but we do have busy
periods – if one of us cannot see you straight
away, please make an appointment.
School Dress Code
Free school meals
Many of you will be aware that school meals are free (known as
Universal Infant FREE school Meals)  for all infant children: that is
any child in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2
It is worth registering for means tested free school meals if you
are eligible, as doing so also helps the school with additional
funding.  We can also provide you with more information about
this.
You can register on-line
