Year 1
Year 1 is all about listening, watching, and having fun! Children will join in with lots of chants, rhymes, songs, and stories that help them find their voice and grow their vocabulary. They’ll go on little adventures spotting shapes all around them, discovering the exciting world of early maths through shapes and patterns. As they play, they’ll also begin to create their own stories, letting their imagination shine. Best of all, every activity links together Maltese, English, and Maths in a fun and meaningful way!
