Year 1

Autumn Term

Literacy: In the first half of the autumn term, we will be reading the book Bumblebear by Nadia Shireen, as well as a range of books by Julia Donaldson. We will be using these texts as a stimulus for writing captions and lists, as well as beginning our Year 1 grammar lessons (Place Value of Grammar). After the half-term holiday, we will continue our grammar lessons before using the book Traction Man by Mini Grey as inspiration to design and describe our own toy characters.

Maths: We will be learning about place value (including counting and comparing numbers) and addition and subtraction within 10.

History: The Great Fire of London

Science: Animals including humans, followed by seasons.

ICT: We Are Illustrators - using various computer programs to create pictures.

PE: Tuesday NOTE: This can change each half term – check the sign on the window.

Please leave PE kit in school, unless it is needed for club. We will send kits home at the end of each half term.

Please make sure all items of clothing (PE kit, as well as all uniform - especially jumpers, cardigans and coats) are labelled with your child's name. Thank you!

Library: Thursday. Please enjoy your child's library book with them and return it each Thursday to change.
