Year 1

Welcome to Year 1. Here you can find information about the Curriculum being taught to your child whilst in Year 1 at Riverside Primary School. Our aim is to ensure that each child develops a lifelong love for learning where everyone is encouraged to develop, grow and reach their potential whatever his or her ability. The Year 1 Curriculum has been developed to ensure that it is progressive, follows a sequence of lessons which builds on prior knowledge and is committed to knowing more and remembering more. If you would like any further information, please do not hesitate to contact your child’s class teacher.

“We are never more fully alive, more completely ourselves, or more deeply engrossed in anything than when we are playing.” ~ Charles Schaefer

“Play is not a break from learning. It is endless, delightful, deep, engaging, practical learning. It’s the doorway into the child’s heart!” ~ Vince Gowmon
