Welcome to Year 1 and 2

The Autumn's theme is 'Me and my school'.

We hope you have had a lovely break and are now looking forward to all the exciting things we are going to be doing during the Autumn term 2025.

Here are some of the topics the children will be covering this term. You can find more detail on this on the 'Curriculum page'.

English: Fiction -familiar and well known stories and stories. Non fiction writing- instructions
Maths: Place value, addition and subtraction
Science: Everyday materials
Art: Portraits
History: Our school
Geography: The school grounds
PSHE: Me and my world
RE: Caring for others

P.E days are Monday and Friday. Children will be getting changed for their lessons in school. We will be inside on Mondays and as far as possible, outside on Fridays- weather permitting- so make sure a few warm clothes are put in PE bags. PE bags will be hung on named pegs in the corridor outside the classroom.

Reading

As you are aware, reading is one of the most important things your child will do during KS1. If you can, we would like you to be reading three times per week at home for 15 minutes - even better if you can manage reading every day if possible! Please can an adult record when a child has read at home in their reading diary. This is a great opportunity to build up stamps on reading awards too, leading to certificates in Friday assemblies. Please can you also let us know when your child has completed reading their book, then we can change it for them. This year, books will be changed for both year 1 and year 2 on Mondays and Thursdays.

Spellings will be posted in the diary every week.

Spellings for all children will be sent home on a Monday based on the phonics learning that week or on "tricky words" that can't be sounded out. It is important that they are practised at home. Spell checks will be completed the following Monday before the new week's words are sent home.

If you do have anything you wish to discuss, please pop in and see us. Thank you for your continued support.
