Reading Books, Spellings and Homework
Reading is an essential part of your child’s learning journey. All children are taking part in guided reading sessions at least once per week, as well as individual and whole class reading. It is therefore essential that your child has their reading book and diary in school every day. We use the diary to communicate with you about your child’s reading and we would appreciate it if you could leave a comment in the diary to let us know that you have read with your child. Your child will be sent home with a set of spellings each week which can be found at the front of their spelling book. The children will be tested on a Monday.

Welcome back to a new school year. We
all hope you had a wonderful break and
are looking forward to the year ahead.
English For the Love of Reading
Our English focus this half term is ‘The Selfish Giant’. We will be looking at different elements of the story, sequencing then writing the story. We will also write non-chronological reports about the seasons.
Our Topic
Our topic this half term is a Geography based topic - Seasons. We will be asking the key question - ‘What are the Seasons?’ and will be
looking at seasonal daily weather patterns in the UK. We will begin to explore the world and why some countries are hotter or colder than others. We will then link this to more daily weather changes around the world. In Science we will learn about animals including humans.
Maths
In Maths we will be learning about number and place value, addition and subtraction, multiplication and division, length, weight and capacity, properties of shapes, fractions, money, position and direction.
Our Role Play
This half term we will be a Tree House.
Uniform Please remember that all children must wear the correct academy
uniform each day. This includes their tie.
Trouser and skirts must be grey and school shoes must be worn at all times
too. Thank you for your continued support.
PE
In PE we will be learning multi-skills and about body parts and their functions. Due to the continuing need to exercise caution because of the coronavirus it has been decided that this half term KS1 children will not change for PE but will take shoes and socks off in the hall or put trainers/pumps on for outside.
