Welcome to Year 1
To support your child with their phonics at home, you will find some useful files and links attached to this page. These can be referred to whilst reading together or during writing activities.
Maths
For this half term we will be focusing on place value within 10.
English
This half term we are going to be using 'Lost and Found' to inspire our writing. Please don't read the story if you aren't already familiar with it. It's lovely for the children to learn the story together.
Reading
Please record any home time reads in your child's reading diary. This can be a story, a recipe, a comic or phonics practice. You must bring it to school every day. It also contains helpful phonics pages. Children will change the book once a week, they need to have read the book 4 times (at home and at school) to be able to change it.
RE
Our unit this half term is Prophecy and Promise. We will be learning about the beauty of God's creation and how we see it in our daily lives.
PE
We will be having PE on a Monday (outside) and Friday (Outside).
This half term our outdoor session will be in our forest school. Your child will need to wear long trousers, a t shirt with long sleeves, a jumper, waterproof coat and wellies.
Our Friday session this half term will be ball control focusing on our hands.
Phonics games! To help the children prepare for the phonics screen check in June have a go at a few games :)
There's a fab alien game that has a Mario vibe!
