Year 1 - Autumn Term 2025
Welcome to the start of the Autumn Term in Year 1! We are very excited about the term ahead and wanted to share with you some of the learning your child will be enjoying over the coming weeks.
English
This term we will be exploring two wonderful books:
- Lost and found by Oliver Jeffers
- Nibbles The Book Monster by Emma Yarlett
Mathematics
Our focus in maths will begin with place value. The children will be learning to:
- Count, read and write numbers up to 20
- Understand the value of each digit in a number
- Compare and order numbers
- Use practical equipment to represent numbers in different ways
Wider Curriculum
In addition to English and maths the children will also be enjoying lessons in science, art, PE, music, computing, history, geography, Design & Technology, and PSHE.
Please see the Autumn term topic web on the website for more details.
General information:
- Please make sure that your child brings their reading books and record with them every day.
- A reading book linked to the phonics will be sent home every Friday and an additional book for you to share with your child which will provide some extra challenge.
- PE will be on a Tuesday and Friday. Please ensure that your child comes dressed in their kit on those days.
- Homework will be sent out via an email every Friday and the tasks are to be completed by the following Wednesday. The tasks will include Mathletics activities, reading and words to learn for a spelling test.
- We will have a spelling test every Friday morning.
- Your child should have a named coat and water bottle in school each day.
