Year 1 - Squirrels and Frogs

Autumn Term 2023

Welcome all to Year 1!

We hope you all had a wonderful summer break and are ready for a fantastic year of learning together. 

Please find some useful information below that should answer some questions you may have.

 

English

The children will be following Read Write Inc Phonics programme. RWI is a whole-school approach to teaching literacy that creates fluent readers, confident speakers and willing writers. It integrates phonics with comprehension, writing, grammar, spelling and handwriting, using engaging partner work and drama.  The children will be assigned to groups according to their level and we will be assessing the children continuously, so that they can move through the groups as they progress.

The children are already working in groups according to their reading level and we will be assessing the children continuously, so that they can move through the groups as they progress.

 

Please view the videos below for more information about the Read, Write, Inc programme.

Maths

In Maths, we are focusing on numbers to 10, focusing on place value, ordering, sequencing and comparing.

We are following a Mastery approach when teaching Maths. This focuses on deepening the children’s understanding of mathematical concepts by using concrete, pictorial and numerical resources.

 

Science

In science our topic is ‘Our Body’ and we will be learning about the main parts of the body and the five senses.

 

History/ Geography

Our World

 

Music

Hey You! module following Charanga syllabus.

 

P.E

Both Squirrels and Frogs class have their P.E sessions on Mondays and Thursday.

 

Homework

Homework projects will be posted on Class Dojo.

Year 1

Book Bags

We will send home book bag books as well as the storybooks children have read in school. They include many of the same reading activities that we use in class and include parent guidance. Please ensure that these books stay in the plastic wallet provided and come to school every day.

Library books will be changed in class on a weekly basis. These books are for you to read to your child

We encourage that children read every day at home and please record this in their reading records.

 

Thank you for all your continued support,

 

The Year 1 Team
