"The Helper, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my name will teach you everything and make you remember all that I have told you. "(John 14:26)
In this unit the pupils will talk about their experiences of holidays and wonder at what makes these days special. They will learn about holydays and the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. They will be able to recognise some symbols of the Holy Spirit and learn that the Holy Spirit enables Christians to pass on the message of the good news of Jesus.
This half term we also show our devotion to Our Lady during the month of May. We will begin the month by having a special crowning celebration in our class Prayer and Liturgy.
|
In Mathematics, the children will work on 'Multiplication and Division', 'Fractions'. They will learn to count in 2's, 5's and 10's and recognise and add together equal groups. They will also learn to group and share. In the 'Fractions' unit they will learn to recognise simple fractions such as halves and quarters using shapes and quantities.
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 reading stories to inspire our own writing. We will be reading a range of fairy stories inclduding Little red Riding Hood and Jack and the Beanstalk. 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.
Take a look at this video to help you and your child say the sounds correctly from set 1, set 2 and set 3 of the Read Write Inc Phonics Programme.
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. Here are the spelling lists for Spring 1, the spellings are also uploaded onto Ed Shed for the pupils to practise.
