Dates for your diary

Tuesday 1st September - Inset day

Wednesday 2nd September - First day back in school for children

In English, we will be enjoying a range of new texts, including our focus book, Harry the Happy Mouse by Janelle N. G. K. We will develop our writing skills by creating simple sentences using capital letters, finger spaces and full stops. We will also practise orally presenting a poem with expression and create our own information posters, organising and sharing facts clearly.
 

 In Phonics, we will continue to use Little Wandle. We will be learning new sounds and using sound buttons to identify the sounds we know, as well as taking part in our guided reading sessions.

 

In Maths we will be developing our understanding of numbers to 100 by counting, recognising and comparing numbers, exploring number patterns, counting in tens, and using part-part-whole relationships to compare quantities.

 

 In Readingyour child will be read with three times a week. They will focus on decoding, prosody and comprehension. Your child's reading book is matched appropriately to their phonics level. 

Please aim to read with your child three times a week. This will support fluency, comprehension and expression. Thank you.

 

 In Handwriting, we will be looking at the correct formation of our letters and numbers. We will also be making our hand muscles nice and strong with our fine motor activities.

 

 For this half term, our PE lessons will be on Mondays and Thursdays.

Please make sure your child has their PE kit in school so they can get changed, as this helps to support their independence with dressing.

 

Please see our Autumn One Curriculum Map which has all the information about what we will be learning this half term. 

  

How you can help: 

Please encourage your child to read their Collins E-book three times a week at home as well as completing their homework

(which will be sent out after October half term).

A new log-in and password will be provided for the Collins Hub in the back of your child's reading diary.
