Welcome to Year One's Class Page! Here you will be able to find out about the learning we are enjoying in school, as well as keeping up to date with important information about the class. The children have made a fantastic start to Year 1  and we are so proud of how well they are adapting to the structure and routines. They are certainly rising to the challenge! Thank you for your support at home - if you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact the school office (admin@olol.org.uk) and I will get back to you as soon as I can!

Phonics Information -

We are now using the Read Write Inc (RWI) programme to begin our reading and writing journey. When using RWI the children will:

• Learn that sounds are represented by written letters.  To practice the sounds and learn how to pronounce them accurately please click the following link: Click here
• Learn 44 sounds and the corresponding letter/letter groups using simple picture prompts.
• Learn how to blend sounds and read words using Fred Talk. The following link shows how we teach children to ‘Fred talk, read the word’. Click here
• Learn that some words with ‘tricky letters’ can’t be read using Fred Talk as they cannot be sounded out – these are known as red words. Remember - 'you can’t Fred a red!' - These words have been our focus for spellings. 

Phonics Screening Check - 

All children in Year 1 complete a phonics screening check in the summer term. If you would like to find out more about the phonics screening check, please click the following link: Click here
