Religion- Branch 4 Desert to Garden
It is the Liturgical season of Lent. Lent begins on Ash Wednesday and lasts for forty days. The children will learn that Lent is a time to grow more like Jesus and look forward to Easter. They will learn about change and how Lent can be a time of change, to grow spiritually, in preparation for the celebration of Easter, through prayer and good deeds. The children will learn about the events that happened in the last week of the life of Jesus, Palm Sunday, the Last Supper, Good Friday and leading up to the Resurrection. In our Prayer and Liturgy the children will have the opportunity to celebrate Mass on Ash Wednesday as well as Stations of the Cross. They will also have the opportunity to bring home the class Lenten Prayer Pack.

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 'TheEverywhere Bear' by Julia Donaldson and Rebecca Cobb, 'Magnificent Mums' by Simon Philip and Dawn Lo and 'The Teddy Bear Robber' by Ian Beck.
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.
