In Year 1 this term, the pupils will be focusing on their phonics, ensuring they have a solid understanding of their sounds including recognising and writing them. This will be Phase 2 and Phase 3 sounds.

The pupils will be working hard to develop their oracy skills and will complete regular activities where they have opportunities to work in groups to share their ideas with their peers.

In Math’s and Numeracy pupils will learn about numbers including addition and subtraction, place value, money- recognising coins and making small amounts, position and direction and shape.

The different number skills learnt will be used across different areas of the curriculum to ensure a deeper understanding for all learners.

This term our topic will be about animals and how human actions can affect animal lives.

The pupils will be exploring the different names of animals, their habitats, diet, and appearance. Pupils will also explore the word ‘compassion’ and learn what it means to be compassionate towards animals, where they will learn about animal needs and how to care for animals. The pupils will be making an imaginary animal and a habitat where they will have to take care of it.

This topic will allow pupils to apply their new skills and knowledge into their daily lives.
