Ferney Lee Primary School

Autumn 1

   In our first half term, our Geographical enquiry question is:
what is the geography of Todmorden?

This half term, Year 1 will start by exploring the features of our school grounds. They will then look at a map of Todmorden and begin to identify human and physical features, before comparing villages, towns, and cities       

English:

Phonics: We will continue to follow the Read Write Inc. phonics scheme. This half term, children will revise the Set 1 sounds and special friends they learnt in Reception, before moving on to Set 2 sounds. There will be a strong focus on improving reading fluency and developing quick and confident sound recognition.

This half term, we will be reading a range of well-loved stories including Goldilocks and the Three Bears, The Three Billy Goats Gruff, and The Gruffalo. Children will be introduced to high-level vocabulary and encouraged to use it in their storytelling and speaking activities.

We will also be focusing on handwriting and letter formation, helping children to secure the skills they developed in Reception.

Maths: This half term, children will focus on Number: Place Value within 10. Children will learn to count forwards and backwards, read and write numbers to 10, and understand the value of each digit. They will also practise sorting, comparing and ordering numbers, as well as using number lines and objects to represent numbers up to 10.
