Monkspath School
Year 1 Curriculum Overview Summer 2
This is a brief overview of the curriculum that will be taught in
Year 1 this term. There will be daily English and Maths lessons
which may include cross-curricular learning. The other subjects
are taught in a more fluid manner in order to make as many
purposeful links as possible. For example, in some weeks we may
teach no history, whereas in other weeks a substantial proportion
of the timetable will have a history focus.
On occasions, some elements of this curriculum plan may be
adapted to meet the needs and interests of the children.
