Year 1 - Ladybird Class

Welcome to Year 1 Ladybird Class

Class Teacher: Miss Tombs

Teaching Assistant: Miss Brown and Mrs Foxley

Welcome to Term 4

Our Curious Quests this term will include a range of non-fiction texts and poetry alongside a traditional tale and a cartoon from the past. Our rich vocabulary to accompany the quests will continue to be sent out each week on Class Dojo. Alongside this, we’ll carry on with our phonics learning. In Term 4, we will be learning even more Level 5 sounds so that we start to be confident in using them for both reading and spelling new words. We will also be revising all Level 2 and 3 sounds and Level 4 words.

In maths, we will continue to explore addition and subtraction to 20 and then move on to learning about the place value of numbers to 50. We will continue to use part whole models, number bonds and partitioning numbers into tens and ones. We will also be learning about measurement within the topics of length and height, mass and volume.

Our science learning in Term 4 will be about comparing animals. The children will learn to compare and group animals based on similarities and differences in their characteristics, physical features and diets.

In Religions and Worldviews we will be exploring the enquiry 'Why should we care for the World?'

In Design and Technology we will explore the stability of structures and design a product for a particular user.

Our PE day is Thursday and your child can wear their PE kit to school on that day.

Home learning will be reading Rhino Readers, Twinkl phonics and the Twinkl maths app. Your child should have their reading book in school every day and should practice reading at home on a daily basis. Reading books will be changed every Friday.
