St James' CE Primary School
Mrs Thomas and Mrs Cooper help us to learn in Class 1.
Autumn 1 - Room on the Broom (and other ways to travel)
English
We will read Room on the Broom by Julia Donaldson. We will write our own version making changes to some of the characters.
We will also write postcards and write a fact file on transport.
Explore our Virtual Library for more Class 1 books to listen to and watch at home.
To help at home - Parents and Carers, please click on the links to support your child to practise their phonics at home. Their reading book will guide you to which colour to pick.
Maths
Our first Power Maths unit is about place value.
Science
We will be learning all about materials and their properties.
Phonics
In year 1, we follow 'Read, Write Inc' to learn letters and their sounds. We learn and practise phonics every day.
Parents and carers, follow the link to find our more: Read Write Inc guide for parents
In Year 1, the children will do a statutory phonics test. Part of the test is to read 'alien' words, these are nonsense words that have no meaning. Your child will bring home this type of word to practise. Please make sure you help them to practise them regularly and read their home reading book daily. These are examples of alien words.
REFLECTION TIME
During the school day, there are dedicated times where we collectively stop, think and reflect. Children are invited to join in with these prayers.
Lunchtime Prayer
Thank you for the world so sweet,
thank you for the food we eat,
thank you for the birds that sing,
thank you God for everything
Amen
End of day prayer
Thank you Lord for this nice day,
Bless our work, our friends, our play,
Amen
Our classroom and playground have prayer spaces that children may visit too.
