Year 1
Welcome to Year 1. Our class teacher is Miss Rock and our support staff are Mrs Hailes and Mrs Begum.
Summer Term
Our key texts this term are:
As writers, we are writing to entertain and inform by exploring the language and organisational features of different genres such as poetry, informal letters, setting descriptions and instructional writing.
As mathematicians, we are learning to count in 2s, 5s and 10s and exploring division by recognising and making equal groups. We are also learning about fractions where we will find a half and a quarter of a shape and a quantity.
As scientists, we are continuing our learning on revisiting Animals Including Humans where we are looking at what food tells us about an animal. We are also revisiting our learning on plants where we are looking at the different parts of a plant, the four seasons and deciduous and evergreen trees.
As theologists, we are exploring Creation and looking at who Christians think made the world and how it was made. We are learning how Christians show thanks and praise to God for creating the world.

Your child will start to bring books home when they are confident readers, relating to their reading stage. You will find they will bring home a phonics-based book, this will aid application, speed and fluency- developing speedy reading! Following on from this, they will bring a comprehension-based book which will begin to enrich their reading, which will require decoding skills.
