Autumn 2

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 2 we begin using what we have learned in Autumn 1 and apply it to our story writing. We will be using the story of Rapunzel by Bethan Woollvin and creating a “wanted” poster as well. Our theme is ‘Once Upon a Tower’.

We are MATHEMATICIANS!

In maths we will be exploring addition and subtraction and will be continuing with the mastery number programme from EYFS.

We are SCIENTISTS! We will be learning about the season of Autumn.

We are HISTORIANS! We will be learning about the legend of Robin Hood.

We are ATHLETES! In PE we are focusing on wall ball games.
