Curriculum
Please see what we will be learning about this year on our year group overview.
To find out what knowledge we need to learn and remember for this half term, please see our knowledge organisers.
Welcome to Year One! This half term, our focus in English will be writing to entertain, and we will be exploring the much-loved story The Little Red Hen.
Over the next few weeks, the children will develop their understanding of sentence structure, with a particular focus on making sure that their sentences make sense. We will explore the story together and practise retelling key events in the correct order.
To help the children remember and organise their ideas before writing, we will use actions and repetition to support them in orally rehearsing their sentences. The children will then use these ideas to create their own written retellings of the story, building confidence in expressing their ideas clearly and accurately.

Homework
It is really important to read with your child at least 3 times a week. Reading stories on a regular basis helps children develop a sense of the story structure and fires their imagination. It really does make a difference!
Every week a phonics and maths activity will be sent home with your child. This will be linked to what they have been learning about in school that week. Please upload completion of homework to your child's Dojo portfolio for their class teacher to check.
Additional activities, suggestions and recommendations will be sent home for each topic, to support your child's development.
