This half term we will be learning...
Phonics
We use a teaching programme called Read Write Inc. (RWI) to teach our children to read and write. In RWI lessons, the children are taught new sounds and these progress from set 1 - 3. In Year 1, children continue to learn set 2 sounds, consolidate set 1 sounds and progress onto set 3 sounds.
Children learn to read words by sound-blending using a frog called Fred. Fred says the sounds and children help him blend the sounds to read each word. Children also learn to read red words (common exception words) on sight. Red words are words that cannot be segmented or blended.
English
This half term we will cover the stories: Life Savers and Supertato . We will be writing dictated sentences about real life super heroes and character descriptions. We will be focusing on the following key writing skills: Using capital letters, full stops and finger spaces, writing red words, handwriting and using Phonics in our writing.
Maths
In our Maths lessons we will be continuing with the unit 'Addition and Subtraction within 20'.
Here are some ideas to support your child with Maths at home -
- Counting anything! (Apples, cars, trees, etc). Encourage children to count things wherever they are. Give them counting tasks such as at the supermarket, putting 3 tins of beans in the trolley.
- Playing number names with cards, board games and dominos.
- Let children sort the washing, matching and counting pairs of socks is a great way to practice odd and even numbers.
- Find different shapes around the house. Encourage your child to name and describe the shape.
Science
This term we are focusing on our senses and our body parts. You can support your child at home by asking them what they can see / smell / taste / touch / hear when you are out and about. You can also ask them to label or name different parts of their bodies.
Foundation Curriculum
This term we will be focusing on our topic 'Heroes and Villans'. We will look at real life super heroes from history (such as Mary Seacole) and modern times, including people within our community (doctors, nurses, shop keepers).
