Timetables
This term we will be learning about:
Author of the term - Martin Waddell
Autumn – CURRICULUM OVERVIEW | |
English | We are going to be exploring and writing about stories this term (one of which is Can't you Sleep Little Bear). We are going to practice our pre cursive handwriting, and continue to write for a purpose. Our aim is to have fun and write about it. We will also explore writing and reading non fiction books and texts based on things the children are interested in. |
Maths | Each week we will be completing work from the different areas of Maths. Mondays we will be looking at our CLICs and Learn Its, which allows children to work on and apply all areas of their mathematic learning. Tuesdays and Wednesdays will be place value and number, learning to count, read and write numbers, and compare numbers. Thursday we will look at calculations, focusing on addition, subtraction and introducing multiplication and division. This then leads nicely into our Friday lesson, where we will look at wider Maths such as measures, ranging from height and length to time. |
Science | Everyday materials – exploring changes |
Topic | Hooray for the Holidays We will be looking at Blackpool, both past and present. We'll be looking at different types of holidays (seaside, countryside, town and city). There will be work on types of transport to get to holiday destinations - both UK and abroad. We will think about the features of holiday destinations including, harbour, pier, fields etc. |
PE | Athletics |
| RE | World of festivals, Who celebrates what and why? |
| Music | Music for enjoyment and relaxation (Cosmic Yoga), Music for Exercise and learning (Jack Hartmann, The Learning Station) |

Spellings year 1
Spellings are in line with the rest of the school. Turn learning into a game, have fun with them. See if they can use the words in sentences. Repeated practice and use is a great way to learn them, and for your children to feel confident with them. READ, COVER, WRITE, REPEAT :)
