Religion- Branch 5 To the ends of the Earth
"When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting."
(Acts 2:1-2)
In this unit the children will come to a simple narrative to understand the events following the ressurection of Jesus. They will focus on the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles, also written by St Luke, they will hear how the earliest followers of Jesus came together as a community to carry on the work or Jesus 'to the ends of the earth.'
They will learn about holydays, the feast of the Ascension 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 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 'The Scarecrow's Wedding' by Julia Donaldson, Jack and the Beanstalk by Mara Alperin and Little Red Riding Hood by Mike Gordan.
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. The spelling list for this half term can be found below. These will be given out during the first half term. The children will also be given a log in for Ed Shed where they can practise the spellings using fun games and activities, whilst also earning points for the class.
