Autumn Term 2

This term we will be learning about all the best ways to learn in Year 1! We will focus on the rules and routines of school, ensuring that we all can learn effectively.

In English we will be reading a variety of noise poetry including 'The Sound Collector' by Roger McGogh and writing our own sound poems. We will also be learning to tell the story of the Gigantic Turnip and trying to remember the order of the story which will help us write our own repetitive stories.

In Maths we will continue to consolidate our understanding of place value and the different partitions of numbers to 10. We will be adding and subtracting numbers within 30 and also learning the volcabulary of position and direction.

Our topics units will focus on the past and present of Crowthorne Village and our school, we will even be taking a local walk to help us map our area! We will also continue to learn about the human body including the senses. Find out more about what we are learning in the weekly Year 1 newsletter!
