Term 5

In Term 5, our learning will revolve around the topic of Citizenship.

In English this term, we will be reading 'Wild' by Emily Hughes, 'Oliver's Vegetables' by Alison Bartlett and 'Lost and Found' by Oliver Jeffers.

In Maths, we will be learning to multiply.  We will learn to count in 2’s, 5’s and 10’s and group objects into arrays.  We will also learn about Fractions and  how to halve and quarter a shape and number.

Science will be focused on plants.  We will be making observations of changes over time as we plant our own seeds!

In Music, the children will continue to learn how to play the Glockenspiel

In Computing, the children will use Purple Mash to  make Animated Story Books.

 

Homework 

The Year 1 Phonics Screening Check will take place during the week commencing 10th June.  Please practice the sounds with your child each week and encourage FRED talk to sound out and then blend. 

Every Friday, your child will bring home two new reading books.  We expect the children to be reading for 15-20 minutes each night and for their reading record to be signed.

The children have a NumBots and Spelling Shed log in stuck into the front of their reading record.  Your child can access this at their leisure but will not be set homework.  Both websites are a great tool for your child to consolidate their learning at school.
