This Autumn we will be exploring the United Kingdom in our geography lessons. We will learn all about England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland as well as the seas around us. After half term we will begin to look at colours, both primary and secondary. We will link these colours back to the flags of the UK. In Year 2, our science for the term is all about animals, including us as humans and what we need to stay healthy. Year 1 science will also include seasonal changes.
Many of our other curriculum areas, including music, link to our Geography theme.
Our PE days for this term our Thursday and Friday.
The links below are susceptible to change over the first few weeks of term.
In KS1 class we have daily phonics sessions focusing on learning to read and write all sounds (Level 5 and 6) including alternative pronunciations. We teach the children phonic rules and give them opportunities to spell and sort words based on these rules. We follow the Twinkl SSP which is a rigorous progression of phonics skills using Letters and Sounds. The program is supported by the Rhino Readers books that children will bring home to practise their reading skills at home as well as Oxford Reading Tree books which have been matched the Twinkl SSP.
The Phonics Play website has a variety of free games that you can play with your child to support blending letter sounds to read words.
Tell me and I’ll forget. Show me and I may remember. Involve me and I learn.
