Class Information - EY1W

EY1W Curriculum Information

We believe at Lowbrook that there is an expectation on the part of both adults and children that learning is important and enjoyable and that everyone can improve.

The learning process is valued and there should be a supportive atmosphere that allows children to make and learn from their mistakes.

Below we have included the year group curriculum overview and an example of a timetable for Early Years.

Phonics

At Lowbrook Academy, we follow ‘Monster Phonics’ to support the teaching of early reading. Monster Phonics is a multi-sensory scheme which supports children when learning the most common sounds in the English Language. Monster Phonics uses colour-coding to promote understanding, which leads to children becoming confident, independent learners. Confidence builds their passion for school and for life.

We know that children learn best when parents and teachers follow the same methods. Working in the same way is vital for reinforcing learning so here is some information to help you use the Monster Phonics approach.
