Year 1 2025
Welcome to Year 1
Mr Mottershead and Miss Akhtar make up our Year One team.
Autumn Term 2026
English
We will be reading traditional tales to inspire our learning this term. We are focusing on the traditional tale of ‘The Three Little Pigs’. Children will be exploring the events of the story and engaging in drama activities to act out and retell the story, sequence events and write the story in their own words. We will be focusing on aspects of grammar including nouns and verbs, exploring different examples of these kinds of words and practising using them in the correct contexts.
Children will have a daily phonics session and regular handwriting sessions alongside their English lessons. Our phonics sessions will begin by exploring alternative vowel sounds and beginning to differentiate between spelling rules.
Maths
This term we will be focusing on counting within 100, forwards and backwards as well as comparing quantities and part-part whole relationships. We will also be looking at the composition of numbers to 5 as well as recognising, composing, decomposing and manipulating 3d shapes. In the second half of the term we will be reasoning using numbers to 10 and exploring additive structures.
Theme
In Geography, we will be exploring our local area of Godley. We will learn about different houses and buildings in Godley through fieldwork and looking at maps. We will also find out where Godley is located within the world. We will then turn to look at our school and community in our history work.
Science
In Science we will begin the term looking at forces and space: seasonal changes. We will then turn to look at materials discovering the difference between objects and materials.
