Happy New Year!

Here is an overview of our Term 2 learning in P1:

Literacy

Our whole school focus is on non-chronological reports. This term, P1 will learn the features of non-chronological reports through the vehicle of traditional tales. Some of the stories we will cover include The Three Little Pigs, Goldilocks and Little Red Riding Hood. 

We will also be applying our phonics knowledge to read and spell words and then sentences. We will continue to practice our letter formation and introduce writing on a line. We will start to learn some high frequency words that have irregular spelling patterns, making them difficult to 'sound out'. 

Numeracy

This term we will look more in depth at our numbers to 10, practicing adding and subtracting and developing our knowledge of number bonds. We will be learning how to measure length, height and weight using non-standard measurement. We will keep practicing our number formation and learn the symbols that help to represent addition, subtraction and equals to. 

World Around Us

This term we are investigating materials and learning about their properties. What is the best material to build a house? Why is it important to wear waterproof materials when it is raining outside?

The Arts

We are learning how to weave. Children will practice weaving ribbon, threading beads and using a weaving loom. We will use our weaving skills to make a giant tapestry in our classroom.

We are also looking forward to the launch of the Aspire shared education project and our outdoor learning trip to Peck and Pine!
