Phonics

In Year 1, we learn new phonemes to make us better readers and writers. As a school, we follow the Little Wandle scheme of learning to teach phonics. We introduce new sounds each week so the children can 'Grow the code' and build on their existing knowledge.

Spellings

In Year 1, we are always busy learning different spellings! To ensure we are writing super sentences, we use our toolkit below:

English

We are looking at the text, 'Lost in the Toy Museum' this half term. We will be working on using coordinating conjunctions to link two main ideas together. The children will use their fantastic phonic knowledge to write super sentences including, capital letters, full stops and finger spaces.

Maths

Autumn 1

1. Place Value

2. Addition and Subtraction

Numbots is a fun and interactive way for your child to improve understanding, recall and fluency in mental addition and subtraction, so that they move from counting to calculating.

We will be looking at a timeline through History of toys and how toys have changed in this time period. The children will compare Victorian style toys to modern day toys and understand the differences. Our outcomes will be to develop an awareness on the past to describe the passing of time.
