In Autumn 1, we shall be focusing on transitioning from EYFS to Year 1 and will engage in a range of hands-on learning activities to consolidate prior knowledge.
In Autumn 1, our English book focus is 'Lost and Found' by Oliver Jeffers and in Autumn 2, it shall be 'Nibbles, the Book monster' by Emma Yarlett. We are going to be consolidating knowledge on using capital letters, finger spaces and full stops and writing simple sentences.
In Maths, we will be focusing on place value up to and including 10. Children are going to learn to recognise different arrays of numbers, to write as words numbers up to ten and to become confident with their number bonds to 5 and 10 respectively.
In Computing, the class will be learning how to log-on to computers and/or laptops and how to use the touchpad or mouse. This will be accompanied by creating simple images on software. In Autumn 2, we will use our new computing skills to look at algorithims.
In History, the class will explore how toys have changed over time and how the materials used may have changed. In Geography, we will be exploring the local area of Hutton using map skills and will create our own ideal playground map for the Infant playground.
In Art, we will be creating spirals using different mediums like paint, chalk and charcoal and exploring colour mixing. In DT, we will be creating puppets using sewing skills which will link to our History topic on toys.

Reading
Reading books are changed on a Thursday.
The book your child brings home has been read three times at school with an adult. The first time is for fluency, the second for prosody and the third for comprehension.
Children will also bring home a reading for pleasure book (a fun book). Children can read non-school books at home in addition.
