Year 1

Welcome to Year 1 which is taught by Miss Dean and supported by Mrs Ward. Miss Ibbotson and Mrs Howes also teach in Year 1 on a Monday.

Autumn Term

We are looking forward to many exciting activities, this term, in Year 1.

In the morning our first job is to practise our phonics during a phonics lesson. We then go for a run around the back playground to give our bodies a movement break. 

Then we are back into class for the rest of the morning where we do handwriting/ writing and Reading Practise.

We learn maths in an afternoon. We are using the White Rose Maths scheme in school this year in our Maths lessons. We are also learning how to be really confident in number using the NCTEM Mastery Number resources.

Foundation subjects:

Science – We are continuing our work about the changing seasons whilst also looking at everyday materials

History – We are going to be learning about two Explorers – Neil Armstrong and Christopher Columbus

DT – We will look at healthy diets in food technology to then use our knowledge and research to make sandwiches and fruit kebabs for a teddy bear’s picnic.

Music – Body percussion

PSHCE – We will be learning about valuing each other’s differences. We will also be having a friendship workshop on Thursday afternoons.

Computing – Ordering and sorting

PE - PE will be on Monday and Wednesday afternoons this half term.

Home Learning

Spellings will be set on a Friday via Google Classroom.

Reading books should be returned on a Wednesday so that a new one can be sent home, thank you!

Kind regards,

Miss Dean and Mrs Ward :)
