Year 1 and Year 2 Autumn Term 2021

What are we learning in English?
This term in English we are doing all of our learning based around the book “The Queens Hat”. This is a funny story about the queen losing her hat and travelling around London to try and get it back. This is a fictional story, that has made us laugh lots already. The children will be learning about different word types, sentence structure and story writing through this module.

What are we learning in Maths?
This term in maths we are learning all about number. Children will learn all about place value, ordering, sequencing, adding, subtracting, multiplying and division. We will be doing this in lots of different and practical ways, using a variety of resources and manipulatives.
- What is our project work this term?
Our Project this half term is “Dinosaurs”. We will be finding out all about when dinosaurs roamed the earth. The children will learn key geography, history, art and DT skills through this. We have started this topic with our hook day, we went on a dinosaur hunt and found evidence of a dinosaur in school!
- What reading do Year 1/2 complete?
We will be reading in school daily during our phonics sessions. We ask that the children read at home 5 nights a week. We also ask that this is recorded in their reading record book, with a small comment about how they got on.
