"You are the people of God; he loved you and chose you for his own. So then you must clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience… And to all these qualities add love, which binds all things together in prefect unity." Colossians 3:12-14 |
In this unit, the children will have the opportunity to talk about their experience and feelings about the roles of people within families. They will be able to say what they wonder about the care given to people within families. They will learn to recognise the stories and psalms which reveal God’s love and care. During the first half term, we will celebrate the birthday of Our Blessed Lady, Mary as well as celebrate the season of Creation.

In Mathematics, the children will work on 'Place Value Within 10'. They will to count fluently to 10 when counting objects. They will count with one to one correspndance and say the numbers in the correct order. They will recognise that the last number they say is the total number of objects. The children will begin to recognise images that represent numbers by representing real-life objects with counters or cubes and ten frames. 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 to inspire our own writing. We will be reading 'The Colour Monster' by Anna Llenas and 'The Pig's Knickers' by Jonathan Emmett. 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. We will provide further information about the weekly spelling test at the start of the Autumn term.
