Autumn 1

We are READERS!

 Phonics is very important in Year 1 as children will take the Phonics Screening Check in the Summer Term. To support our teaching of phonics we encourage children to read at least 3x a week at home, alongside the word cards we send home with our school reading books. These are linked directly with the phonemes the children have been learning that week

We are WRITERS!

 In Autumn 1, we will be focusing on writing labels and captions and will begin writing simple sentences remembering to include, capital letters, finger spaces and full stops. Our theme is ‘Under the Sea’ and our key text is ‘Billy’s Bucket’ by Kes Gray. If you want to listen along to the story at home scan the QR code above!

We are MATHEMATICANS!

This term, we will be focusing on numbers within 10, exploring addition and subtraction. We will also be looking at 2D and 3D shapes.

We will be continuing the mastery number programme from EYFS.

We are EXPLORERS! We will be learning about the local area with an exciting trip to our local park!
