I hope everyone has had a lovely summer break and ready for lots of exciting learning opportunities through our Autumn term. This is an overview of our learning topics for this term.

PHONICS: YEAR 1 will continue to access daily phonics sessions to ensure they are ready for their end of year Phonics Screening Check. Our book focuses are ‘Dear Earth’ and ‘The Polar Express.’ Reading Books will be changed weekly so your child can practise their reading fluency of the story throughout the week. In addition to this, your child will bring home a library book that you can share together. Please comment in your child’s yellow reading record when your child has read. |

Our topic question is ‘How have women changed history?’ We will explore some significant women from the past which include Emmeline Pankhurst, Emily Davison and Rosa Parks and the suffragette movement. |

RE |
Our learning question this term is ‘What is a human being?’ In this unit, pupils will build on prior learning about Christian beliefs about human beings. They will explore Muslim and Sikh stories about what it means to be human and they will deepen their understanding through lived examples of Muslim and Sikh world views. 'Parental Right of Withdrawal: Parents have the legal right to withdraw their child from all or part of Religious Education and/or Collective Worship.

Reading Books – Once our Phonics/Reading sessions begin in the first full week, your child will start to bring home a reading book. This will be changed every Friday, so your child can practise their reading fluency of the story throughout the week. In addition to this, your child will bring home a library book that you can share together. Please comment in your child’s yellow reading record when your child has read.
Thank you for your continued support.
