Curriculum Information
Mr Armitage - 12 Jan 2016
| Lessons |
Spring 1 |
Literacy
Phonics |
Basic skills for reading and writing are being developed during Year One. We have regular guided reading and writing sessions. Building words by using phonics is the main strategy we encourage for both decoding and writing words. We will be having two longer writing sessions each week as the term continues. We will be using a scheme called ‘WordSmith’ which has a big emphasis on teaching through using different texts and stories. We will be looking at the ‘Duck in the Truck’ and ‘Oi! Get off our Train!’ to look at story writing, characters and language.
We will be moving into looking at non-fiction report writing this term.
We have daily phonics lessons where we are looking at the sounds that make up individual words. This involves using songs, games and interactive sessions to help your child develop their reading skills. |
| Numeracy |
Basic numeracy skills will be continued with throughout this term. We will be starting a focus on place value, counting, one more/less, shape and simple addition and subtraction. We will be focusing on numbers bonds to 10 and 20. 7+3= 10, 17+3=20. Interactive homework accounts will be given this term for your child to further develop their Maths skills. We will look at doubling numbers and repeated addition to help secure our number facts information.
We will be focussing on: 3D shapes, adding, taking away, position and movement, time and doubling numbers. |
| Science |
We will be identifying different materials and grouping them. Moving onto looking at carrying-out experiments to test different materials. |
