We will be exploring the achievements and legacy of the Wright Brothers. We will also look at different forms of travel.
Science
Can you name any everyday materials?
During this learning experience, we will explore a variety of different materials and describe some of their simple physical properties
Maths
This term the children will be looking at developing their understanding of place value for 2-digit numbers as they begin to partition numbers to 50. They will identify and represent numbers using objects and pictorial representations including the number line, and use the language of: equal to, more than, less than (fewer), most and least.

During our English lessons this term, we will be exploring the book ‘My Heart is a Compass’ by Deborah Marcero.

She sets off on a wondrous journey with a set of maps drawn from her own imagination and heart’s desire to explore new and exciting worlds.
What will her world look like? Where will her mission take her?

Phonics Screen Check
The phonics screening check is an informal test that children will need to complete at the end of year 1. During the test, which is designed to test their ability to decode words using their phonics knowledge, children will be required to read a mixture of 40 real and nonsense words.
Here is a useful guide for Parents:
Here you can access a range of mock phonic screening papers that were shared at the parent meeting held in school.
These will give examples of the type of real and alien words the children will encounter in the Year 1 Phonic Screening.
