A massive hello and warm welcome to Red Arrows. We are a fantastic group of Year 1 children who always try our best with everything we do. We are taught by Mrs Ward on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays and Miss Gilpin for the rest of the week. Mrs Troop is our teaching assistant. Keep checking back for updates of the amazing learning we are doing.
Spring - Term 2
After some fantastic learning we completed last term we have an exciting term planned ahead!
In Red Arrows, our theme this term is Little Red Riding Hood and storytelling. We will be focusing on this theme in a lot of our English and computing lessons. In English, we will begin by reading the story of Little Red Riding Hood as well as other stories based on wolves and alternative versions of the traditional tale. We will writing our own narratives and poems.
This term our PE sessions are on a Wednesday and Thursday so we need to make sure we come dressed in our PE Kits (weather appropriate) on these days.
Find below the curriculum overview for the term as well as knowledge organisers for our Science topic of 'Animals including Humans 2' and our Geography topic of 'Comparing England to Egypt'.
Homework
In Red Arrows we encourage children to read as much as they can at home. If you read with your child, please make a note of it in their reading record. Each week your child will have a phonics ebook assigned to them - this will be a book they will be familiar with from doing our reading sessions at school. Your child will also have a sharing book that they may not be able to read independently. This is a book they have chosen to share with people at home - you may want to read this book to them or ask questions about what is going on in the story / in the pictures. This promotes reading for pleasure.
We will also send out a sheet with our phonics learning for the week with some activities you can do with your child to help them consolidate what they have learnt. You can find an electronic copy below.
