Y1, or Year 1, is the second year of primary education in many countries, following Reception or Kindergarten. It typically includes children aged 5 to 6 years old and focuses on developing foundational skills in subjects like math, reading, and writing. In Y1, students engage in various activities that promote social skills, creativity, and critical thinking. Teachers often use play-based learning and hands-on experiences to make lessons engaging. The curriculum aims to build confidence and prepare children for the more structured learning environment of Year 2.
