Year 1 2019 - 2020

Welcome to Year 1 for Summer Term

This term we are focusing on preparation for our Phonics Screening Check with lots of alien nonsense words and practising blending sounds for reading.

We are also learning to work more independently on task and check our work is finished to the best standard it can be.  We want children to take pride in all the work they produce.  

In Literacy we are reading the beautifully illustrated The Rabbit Problem by Emily Gravett.  This links to our Science curriculum about changes in weather and seasons.  In Science we will also begin planting some Sunflowers, creating art work and learning about different flowers and trees.

We are focusing on Place Value in Maths - identifying tens and ones in two digit numbers.  The children have loved learning new songs in Maths too.  Please click the link below to practise at home:
