Guess what, Year 1? Our new class book is ‘The Tiger Child’, by Joanna Troughton.

Curriculum

Autumn Term English:

We will be working on our sentences, making sure we have put capital letters and full stops in them. We will also be checking for finger spaces and correctly formed letters. As well as this, we will be adding adjectives to our sentences to make them more interesting and using and to make our sentences longer. We will also be using our knowledge of phonics to help with spellings and spelling common words independently. Non– Fiction will be linked to The Great Fire of London and our main story will be The Tiger Child by Joanna Troughton.

Phonics and Reading: We will be following the Little Wandle phonics scheme. Children will have guided reading sessions matched to their phonics level at least three times a week and then bring this book home to practice at the end of the week.

AutumnTerm Maths:

In maths we will be consolidating our knowledge of Place value to 20 and applying this in addition and subtraction calculations. We will be exploring 2D and 3D shapes and learning about the language of position.

Autumn Term Science:

We will be learning about Materials and their properties. We will also be looking for signs of Autumn.

Autumn Term Geography/History:

Our Geography and History study this term is based around the theme of The Great Fire of London.. We will be learning all about how the fire started, why it burned for so long and how we know about it. We will be comparing with The Great Fire of Nantwich and looking at the similarities and differences in these two areas.
