Religion- Branch 1 Creation and Covenant
"God saw all that he had made and it was very good." (Genesis 1:31)
In this unit, the children will explore the Christian belief that all things come to us from a loving God. They will be introduced to the Genesis account of Creation, in which they will learn that God is creator of all and that the world we live in was gifted to us from God. They will learn that as stewards of the earth we have a responsibility to take care of it and share it's resources. The children will learn that the Bible contains different kinds of writing, they will be able to retell some Bible stories in their own words using pictures and objects.
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 'Wanted:The Perfect Pet' by Fiona Roberton.
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.
