We have a wonderful, final term ahead in Year One! In English, we will be reading ‘The Fox and the Star’ and ‘The Sweetest Song’. I hear that we already have a challenge to help a lonely, old fox! In Maths, we will be learning about Place Value, Length and Height; and finally, Early Multiplication. Counting in 2s, 5s and 10s to 100, is very important and will support your child with Early Multiplication. In Religious Education, we will learn about what it means to be Muslim. In the Wider Curriculum, we have some wonderful learning experiences planned. In Art, we will be immersed in sculptures and will express our own artwork through ‘Animals in Danger’. We will be creating and evaluating our very own clay tiles. In Geography, we will go on a journey of exploration, focussing on our local area of Somers Town, mapping and understanding directions.
As you know, Phonics Screening is approaching. Phonics Screening is an annual assessment, which takes place in Year One. The screening is carried out to ensure that your child has understood decoding to an age-appropriate level for Year One. Your child will come home with some sounds or ‘alien’ words to practise (in addition to their daily reading) so please keep an eye on their book bags. The assessment will take place in June.
