"Unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains just a single grain, but if it dies it bears much fruit." John 12:24
|
In this unit the pupils will learn about the Liturgical season of Lent. They will know that Lent begins on Ash Wednesday and they will be able to recognise some of the symbols used. They will learn that Lent is a time to grow spiritually in preparation for the celebration of Easter, through prayer and good deeds. They will learn about the events in the last week of the life of Jesus, Palm Sunday, Good Friday and Easter Sunday. The children will also have the opportunity to take part in the Stations of the Cross. |

In Mathematics, the children will work on 'Place Value' using numbers up to 50. They will focus on teen numbers and begin to understand that numbers can be made up of tens and ones. They will use a range of apperatus to represent numbers. The children will begin a unit of work on Measurement. They will learn to measure length and height and volume and mass. In Year 1 we will continue to work on the 'Mastering Number' programme to support the pupils in developing fluency. They will use a range of practical resources including numicon, rekenreks and tens frames .

In Year One, pupils will need to learn number bonds to make 10. They will need to recall them from memory. They will have lots of opportunities to practise using equipment like the Numicon shapes shown below.
|
In our English lessons this half term we will be readng stories that have a sequence to support children in retelling stories and beginning to plan and write stories of their own. We will be reading 'Handa's Surprise' By Eileen Browne and 'We're Going on a Bear Hunt' By Michael Rosen and Helen Oxenbury. We will also be reading 'We're going on a Lion Hunt' By David Axtell. The pupils will continue to attend daily Phonics lessons using the Read, Write, Inc programme to develop their phonic knowledge for reading and spelling. We would recommend that children read their home reading book daily to an adult to practise the skills they are learning at school.

Watch the video clip from Ruth Miskin, as she explains how we use the phonics programme Read, Write Inc to teach the children in Year 1 to blend and read simple words.
Here are the common exception words that pupils in Key Stage One learn to read and spell. Some of these are included on the weekly spelling tests.
