Welcome to the Jaguars Class!
Year 1 is an exciting year, full of learning and fun. Children will take their first steps of the National Curriculum while continuing to explore and discover the world around them. Throughout the year we will enjoy a trip to Puxton Park, walks around our local area and joining in various whole-school activities.

Home Learning at Brookside Academy
- Children receive a reading record, and families are encouraged to read with their child at least three times each week.
- Regular reading at home remains one of the most valuable ways parents and carers can support learning, helping to develop fluency, comprehension, vocabulary and enjoyment of books.
- Children use Emile to practise and revisit the spelling rules currently being taught in class. Our approach focuses on helping children understand, apply and transfer spelling patterns and rules across a wide range of vocabulary.
- Children can use NumBots to strengthen number knowledge and develop key early maths skills.
- Children in Year 2 are also encouraged to regularly use Times Tables Rock Stars to develop fluency and confidence with multiplication facts.
- Short, frequent practice sessions help children develop automatic recall and support success across mathematics.
