Year 1

Mrs Robinson

Welcome to Year 1!

Welcome back after the half term break!

This term we will consolidate the learning from last half term and continue to work on developing our reading skills as well as writing clear sentences with a conjunction. In Maths we will continue to ensure that we can recall number facts at speed and are confident counting forwards and backwards from a given number. As was the case last term when I am not teaching the class Mrs Lord or Mrs Atkinson will teach.

PE days are Thursday and Friday. Please ensure that the children keep their kit in school and this will be sent home each half term. PE uniform should consists of a plain white polo shirt/t-shirt, black shorts, black leggings or plain black tracksuit bottoms,. Trainers/pumps and a red fleece/jumper/cardigan for outdoor PE.

Reading is the key to your child’s learning. The children will keep the same book for 3 days. Please read this book each night with your child and discuss what has happened in the story. As the children are reading the same book at home and school they should increase pace and fluency. Please sign the reading record each time you have read the book.

Important information

The National Phonics Screening Test for all Year 1 children will take place in June. Information about the screening check can be found using the link below.

What are we learning?

In English…

In English this term we will begin with the book ‘The Queen’s Hat.’ The children will be creating sentences using the conjunction ‘and’, we will also work to include varied punctuation in our sentences such as exclamation marks and question marks.

In Maths…

This term in Maths we will be looking at comparing height and length as well as learning to read the times o’clock and half past. We will continue to increase speed when recalling facts such as 2, 5 and 10 times tables as well as number bonds to 10.

In Science…

Our focus for the autumn term will be Spring and Plants. We are going to compare spring to the other seasons and look for the different signs of spring. We will look at the parts of a plant and learn about how they grow.

In RE…

This half term our unit is called ‘Celebrating New Life and New Beginnings’.
Children will hear and retell the Easter Story. They will reflect upon the miracles of nature and new life during springtime and start to make links between the transformation of plants and animals and the Easter story in order to develop an understanding of the resurrection.

In Topic…

The history this half term we will be comparing Shaw to how it was in the past. We will start by learning more about St George’s and then look at the changes that have happened in Shaw/ Oldham.
