Carleon

In Carleon Class, we have a mix of Reception, Year One and Year Two children.
 
Our fantastic classroom allows us space to learn and be creative.  We love to use our fabulous provision to work together to become critical thinkers. We can often be found outside, taking part in active learning and making the most of our wonderful outdoor learning space.
 
If your child is in Reception in Carleon Class, you can use your Tapestry login to view and add to your child's learning journey, with information and photographs of what the children are working on.
Please see this year's cycle overview below to find out what the children in Carleon Class will be learning across the academic year.
Carleon Class Curriculum Overview 2025-2026 (Cycle 1)

To help our children with their Maths learning, we are introducing something called KIRFs. This stands for Key Instant Recall Facts. These are important number facts that children need to remember quickly, without having to work them out every time.

When children know these facts by heart, they don’t have to stop and work them out each time. This helps free up their thinking space (or brain space), so they can focus on their new learning and solving problems. It means their brain isn’t working too hard on the small things, and they can learn more easily. This is called reducing mental load. To help children remember them well, these facts should be practised often – just for a few minutes at a time.

Each half term, your child will focus on one KIRF which they can practise at home too. You don’t need to spend a long time on it – you can practise in the car, on the way to school, or even at the dinner table! Doing a little bit often is the best way to help your child remember.

Children will also practise the KIRFs in school, and their teachers will check how well they know them. Over time, KIRFs will help your child feel more confident with number and calculation and understand how Maths is used in real life. It will also help them solve different types of Maths problems more fluently.

Please see the KIRFs for Year 1 and Year 2 below.
