Phonics
In Year 1, we will continue to learn phonics through the Little Wandle phonics scheme.
Common Exception Words
These are words that are exceptions to the phonics and spellings rules that we are learning. We are aiming to learn to read and write them all independently by the end of Year 1. We know some of them already as they are our tricky words in phonics.
Kinetic Letters Handwriting
We follow the Kinetic Letters handwriting programme at Hurst Green Primary School. Below, you will find a link to a crib sheet and support sheets that you may find useful at home. There is also a link to video showing the way we teach the children how to hold a pencil in a tripod grip.
Numbots
Numbots is a brilliant website where children can log in to play different games that increase their knowledge and fluency with number facts within 10 and 20. These facts are the foundations to so many other areas of Maths so the aim is to able to automatically recall them in the same way we aim to learn times tables later on in school.
Science
BIG question: How does weather change day to day?
Our science topic, Wonderful Weather, focusses on the day to day changes we see. We will also look at the four seasons and how the weather is different in each season. This will be an ongoing topic throughout the year.
