Welcome to Year One with Mrs Ramsey
Welcome to Year One! Alongside me this year will be Mrs Hamey. We hope you have had a lovely half term. Below you will find all the information regarding what we will be learning in Autumn Term Two. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

In English, we will read and share lots of new texts. We will be reading our focus text ‘Lost and Found’ by Oliver Jeffers. We will write simple sentences whilst ensuring we use capital letters, finger spaces and full stops and then write captions for pictures from the book. In phonics we will be learning new sounds and how to use sound buttons to identify the sounds that we know.
In Maths, children will explore numbers up to 5, compare quantities, and understand part–part–whole relationships. They will also recognise and work with 2D and 3D shapes, building early counting, problem-solving, and spatial skills.
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 outdoor on Tuesday's and indoor 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 Two 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:
