Lister Infant School &Nursery
Key Stage 1
We follow the National Curriculum for Key
Stage 1 which covers Years 1 and 2.
Literacy skills and Numeracy are taught as
distinct subjects as well as being included
in the themes and topics through which the
other subjects are taught.
English
We follow the CLLD (Communication,
Language and Literacy Development)
programme where children learn letter
names and sounds to support their reading
and writing.
To promote reading we use a variety of
reading books which are banded into
relevant reading abilities. In writing,
children are introduced to a variety of
writing formats e.g recounts, instructions,
stories through creative topics and themes.
Mathematics
Children learn to calculate,measure, use
data and link maths to real life situations.
At Lister we understand the importance of
early number skills and how this provides a
good foundation for children being able to
calculate. Lessons are practical and link to
real life situations.
Computing
The children are taught to use ICT
equipment and software confidently and
purposefully. They will be taught how to
safely use:
•
Computers and iPads / iPods
•
The Internet to research information
•
E-mail
•
Programmable “Roamers”
•
Controlled Toys
•
Digital cameras
•
CD Players and headphones
•
Responsible use of the Internet
As part of the pupil’s curriculum
enhancement and the development of ICT
skills Lister Infants provides supervised
access to the Internet.
Our Internet provider ensures that a
rigorous filtering system is in place that
restricts access to inappropriate materials.
A member of staff is always present when
children use the Internet.
A copy of the school’s Internet Acceptable
Use Policy is available on request or can be
found on our website:
Science
Children follow topics which help them
develop their natural curiosity, test out
ideas and record results. Science is largely
practical and related to real life.
