Rosedale C of E Infant School
Rosedale's Learning Journeys
Our whole school curriculum is coherently planned and sequenced to enable our children to build knowledge and skills sequentially and cumulatively. We follow the EYFS Framework and the National Curriculum for Key Stage One and we prioritise securing strong foundational knowledge. We use a progressive play based approach throughout EYFS and Key Stage One, informed by a strong evidence base.
Children are taught through a combination of carefully planned Learning Journeys (carefully selected contexts which build upon our children’s starting points, and respond to the needs and interests of our children) and Continuous Provision (‘Discovery Time’) through a blend of explicit instruction, repeated practice, high quality interactions, purposefully planned enhancements and independent play.
Year One Learning Journeys

Heroes
During the Autumn term, children explore both real and fictional heroes. They will meet many superheroes across some fantastic stories, help Supertato track down the evil pea, and they will design their own superheroes. The children will also learn about our real life heroes; doctors, firefighters, vets and explore the history and life of Florence Nightingale.

Commotion In The Ocean
During the Spring term, the children will delve into the world's oceans learning all about what lies under the surface. They will learn all about the different sea creatures and the pollution problems within our oceans. They will then discover all about Antarctica and the Emperor penguins that live there.

Once Upon A Time
During the Summer term, Year One will explore and become familiar with many Traditional Tales. They will dive into some beautiful texts, learning about some real and fictional royalty. They will retell their own familiar tales, such as Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
