Term 1:
This term our unit of inquiry is themed around ‘Who we are’, and our central idea is that ‘many unique individuals make a community’. We will be following different lines of inquiry to help us discover:
Our core texts this term are ‘The Bog Baby’, ‘The Hueys in the New Jumper’ and ‘The Colour Monster’. We will be learning the foundations of literacy and learning to discuss stories, link them to our own lives and begin to listen to other people’s opinions and share ideas.

In phonics we will be starting to learn the phonemes (single sounds) such as s, a, t, p, i and n. We will be beginning to blend simple words such as ‘it’, ‘sat’ and ‘dog’ as well as ‘tricky’ words which we cannot use our sounds for e.g. ‘I’ and ‘no’.
This term we will be taking part in daily ‘Write Dance’ sessions as a class. This is an exciting music and dance approach to develop the skills needed for writing.
In maths we will be following the White Rose scheme. We will also be learning to sort into groups, count with one to one correspondence and begin to recognise numerals. We will also be learning to copy, continue and create our own repeating patterns. We will be learning to use positional language such as ‘on’, ‘under’, ‘next to’, ‘behind’ and ‘in front of’.
Home learning
We love to see all the fantastic learning experiences the pupils have had at home. Pupils are invited to send in any home learning experiences with their book folder. We enjoy sharing the children’s achievements in class.
