Overview of Key Stage 1 Curriculum Theme
At Weyford Infants the children work thematically which means all curriculum areas are linked wherever possible under a specific theme. The theme is the same across key stage 1 (both year 1 and year 2) and children will be working at different levels within that according to their age and developmental needs.
There is a two year cycle of themes and these are detailed in the table below. A letter is sent home at the start of each theme which contains more information about what the children will be learning; this allows parents to talk about this and support the learning at home. We know that when school and home work together we achieve the best possible outcomes for our children.
