Welcome to Puffins - Reception/Year 1

This half term our overarching theme is ‘Near and Far'

This half term we will be thinking about “Journeys- Near and Far”. Our main story will be, “Lost and Found” by Oliver Jeffers. We will be thinking about little journeys we regularly make, the methods of travel we use such as walking, bicycles, cars and buses. Year 1 will also be learning about the capital cities of the UK. Learning more about what it is like in London, making comparisons.  

In maths year 1 will be exploring the early stages of multiplication and division before moving onto the fractions of halves and quarters. We will also be counting in 2s ,5s and 10s which will help us with this.  

Reception will be beginning to explore numbers beyond 10 as well as addition and subtraction within 10.

In art year 1 will be looking at the work of Andy Goldsworthy, in particular his transient art using natural objects. We look forward to developing this with a trip to the beach during this half term.  

PE is all about striking and fielding this half term, we hope to be outside using our field as much as possible if the sun shines or the rain stops! SCARF is all about “Rights and Responsibilities”

In RE year 1 will be thinking about Judaism and whether Shabbat is important to Jewish children?  

Reception will be answering the key question of ‘what can we learn from stories?’ whilst focussing on the religions Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Sikhism 

Puffins have P.E on Monday and Tuesday each week, please ensure that your child's kit is in school each day. The focus this half term in PE is net and wall. Within this the children will be learning a variety of ball skills. Learning to throw and catch, pass the ball using a chest pass and dribbling a ball with their feet.

We will continue to use Tapestry to share your child's learning with you and to share important class messages. Please make sure you check the app regularly. Click here for Tapestry website 

Please make sure book bags are brought into school daily.

 Thank you
