Welcome to Robins Class
Miss Larkins, Mrs Acri & Miss Sobczyk welcome you to Robins Class!
Our Vision
Our vision is to provide a calm, natural learning environment that supports children in developing independence and resilience. We carefully plan developmentally appropriate learning opportunities, with a strong emphasis on learning through play. These play-based experiences are linked to adult-led teaching and the National Curriculum. Through purposeful play, children are given repeated opportunities to practise and consolidate their learning, helping to secure knowledge in their long-term memory. Above all, we aim to foster a love of learning and nurture each child’s natural curiosity.

Phonics
The children are taught discrete phonics lessons everyday following the Twinkl program. We teach the children the sounds in order for them to read and write with increasing proficiency. At the end of Year 1 (in June) the children will be completing a Phonics Screening Check which is a legal requirement for each child. They will apply their phonic knowledge to read 40 words, 20 of which are real and 20 which are not (we call these alien words).
The weekly spellings that the children receive are linked to the sounds and words that they learn in their phonics lessons. It is important that these are practised at home.
There is more information about the Phonics Screening Check here:
https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/home/reading-owl/expert-help/the-year-1-phonics-screening-check
Thank you for your on-going support.
If you have any questions or queries, please come and speak to the Year 1 team or email the school office: schooloffice@livingstoneprimary.co.uk
