Welcome to Year One with Mrs Ramsey
Welcome to Year One! Alongside me this year will be our lovely Teaching Assistant Miss Begum. We hope you have had a lovely break. Below you will find all the information regarding what we will be learning in Autumn Term One. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
Dates for your diary
Tuesday 2nd September - School reopens
Monday 8th September - New to Year One Parents meeting 5pm
Thursday 23rd October - School closes for the Autumn half term holidays
In English, we will read and share lots of new texts. We will be reading our focus text ‘Harry the Happy Mouse’ by Janelle N G K. We will write simple sentences whilst ensuring we use capital letters, finger spaces and full stops. In phonics we will be learning new sounds and how to use sound buttons to identify the sounds that we know.
In Maths, we will begin the year by looking at numbers to 100. We will be ensuring that the children’s knowledge of these numbers is secure through the five principles of counting. We will spend time ensuring that the numbers are correctly formed and can be sequenced correctly with problem solving and reasoning elements.
In Phonics, we will continue to use Little Wandle, as well as having our guided reading sessions.
Phonics information for parents
In Reading, your child will be read with three times a week. They will focus on decoding, prosody and comprehension. Your child's reading book is matched appropriately to their phonics level.
Please aim to read with your child three times a week. This will support fluency, comprehension and expression.
In Handwriting, we will be looking at the correct formation of our letters and numbers. We will also be making our hand muscles nice and strong with our fine motor activities.
Our PE days are indoor on Tuesday's and outdoor on a Thursday for this half term. Please send your child in with their PE kit on these days with appropriate clothing for the weather. We will be getting changed in school to support the children's independence with dressing.
Please see our Autumn One Curriculum Map which has all the information about what we will be learning this term.
Your child's well-being and education is of the utmost importance to me. If you would like to speak to me, please come and have a chat with me at the end of the school day or send me an email:
