Welcome to Key Stage 1 and our two Year 1/2 classes: Cherry and Chestnut.

This term in English, we will be continuing our Read Write Inc phonics sessions, as well as exploring some new texts such as Hansel and Grettel and Hibernation Hotel. We will be using these texts to learn how to write character descriptions and a diary entry.

In Maths, we will be focusing on learning to tell the time. We will start by reading o’clock and half past times and then begin to look at quarter past and quarter to. Later in the term, we will explore measurement, focusing on volume, capacity and temperature. We will use a range of concrete resources to help us with this.

Cherry class will be in the Forest this half-term on a Tuesday, so will need to arrive at school in Forest School kit. Chestnut class will have PE on a Tuesday so need to come wearing their PE kit. Cherry will have PE on a Thursday, so will need to come into school in P.E kit on Thursdays.

Please ensure Read Write Inc reading books are in school every day, and make sure to look out for any posts on ClassDojo for all of our updates! Bookworm bags will continue to go home each Friday, and we will be introducing Number Ninja bags which will include Maths based games to take home and write about!
