Welcome to Year One Owls Class

This half term we will centre our learning around the theme of “This is Me.”

We will launch our learning in English with the focus on ‘The Place Value of Punctuation and Grammar,’ using resources from Grammarsaurus. Our class story is ‘The Fish Who Could Wish,’ by John Bush.

This story will lead into our wider curriculum focus of Science answering the question, ‘What do animals need to survive?’ The children will be learning about the similarities and differences between animals and humans, linking the 5 senses to parts of the body as well as how to group animals by what they eat.

Art will look at the work of the Mexican artist,  Frida Kahlo who painted self portraits.

In Maths, pupils will be learning about Place Value to 10 and being able to count groups within this. Then moving on to Addition and Subtraction within 10, with focus on number bonds within10.

In P.E  the children will be focusing on Invasion Games, learning about tactics to move, negotiate space, pass and retrieve balls and play games as teams. PE days are Monday and Thursday for Owls. Please make sure your PE kit is named and kept in school at all times. We will send kits home at the end of every half term to be washed.

You can find out more about what will be learning on our half term plan below.

Homework books will be sent home every Friday and we collect them back in at school on Wednesday mornings.

Please make sure you listen to your child read daily at home.

Tapestry will be used to share practical learning, special events and homework. Please make sure you check the app regularly.

Thank you for your continued support,

Miss Welch, Mrs Bowes and Mrs Chellew.
