Welcome to Year One with Mrs Ramsey
Welcome to Year One! Alongside me this term will be Mrs Tapp on a Wednesday. Below you will find all the information regarding what we will be learning in Summer Term Two. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
Dates for your diary
w/c Monday 8th June - Phonics screening checks
Wednesday 17th June - EYFS and KS1 sports day From 9.15am
Friday 17th July - Last day of term - school will close at 1.15pm.
In English we will be exploring our focus text, Here We Are by Oliver Jeffers. We will be developing our understanding of characters by thinking about what they might be saying and feeling. In our non-fiction writing, we will be learning how to write information texts, using facts and clear organisation to share information with our readers. The children will be asked to check and correct their own writing.
In Maths we will finish learning about numbers to 20 within different contexts. Then we will learn about unitising and coin recognition - counting in 2s, 5s and 10s. We will learn to recognise and count money and use our addition strategies to help count money. We will also have fun learning about positional and direction. We will finish the year learning about time, which includes learning the time to the hour and half past, the days of the week, months of the year and sequencing events.
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 Tuesday's and Thursday 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 Summer 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:
