Year 1K 2016 - 2017

Welcome back! We hope you have had a lovely Easter break. This term in year 1 we have lots of exciting and interesting activities planned.

In English we will be looking at fairy and fantasy stories before moving onto letters, information texts and poetry. In maths the children will be focusing on fractions, 3D shapes, money, time, and addition and subtraction. We will also be moving on to multiplication and division during this term.

In science we are moving on to a new topic which will be humans and animals. We will be learning about the different parts of the human body, the five senses, animal families, and the similarities and differences between humans and animals.

As the year 1 phonics screening test is fast approaching, we will be continuing to work and focus on our sounding out and blending skills. The children have been working hard on their phonics skills and we would like this to continue. Please continue to help and support the children with their phonics at home. You can use the phonics resource pack that you received, however if you would like more phonics resources please feel free to ask the year 1 teachers. Alternatively, there are links to phonics websites on the school website which can be found on the 1K and 1S class pages.

P.E. kits need to be in school every day and it is vital that your child has the correct PE uniform. We would also like to remind everybody that reading books and book bags need to be in school every day. Spelling tests will be taken on a Friday.

Thank you,

Year 1 Staff
