In science, we will explore environmental issues and continue to look at planting seeds and how the plants grow.

During Art we will explore mixing colours through different media

Maths: We will start the year looking at Place Value of numbers up to 10, simple addition calculations, exploring shapes and recognising parts and wholes.

Phonics: The children will recap Chapter 2 and 3 sounds and then begin to learn the Chapter 4a sounds.

We will be building on the children's expression and fluency as well as building on their love of learning.

Phonic Shed Phonemes

In this video I have recorded all the sounds that the children will learn in Year 1. It is extremely important that they learn all of these sounds so they can use them in their writing and reading as well as in their phonics screening.
