Welcome to our KS1 page.
On this page there is information to support learning at home. If you scroll down, you will be able to access support resources for phonics, maths, spellings, handwriting, e-safety and our topics. We will also aim to post links to useful resources and websites that we find as well as adding things that link to our topics so you can find out more about the areas that interest you.
