Year 1: Cherry Tree
Cherry Tree Class 2024-25
Welcome to Term 5!
The theme for our learning this term is a geographical one and we will be asking ourselves ‘What is the United Kingdom?’. We will be finding out about England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and be able to locate them on a map, developing key geographical skills. We will use geographical vocabulary to describe human and physical features of each.
In English we will be reading the story ‘The Secret of Black Rock’ and basing our learning around the text with a view to writing and recording our own version of the story in an audio book. We will also continue with our daily phonics sessions and weekly spellings.
In Maths, we will continue working on numbers up to 20, exploring place value, number bonds, addition and subtraction. We will also use and explore coins to help us to count in steps of 2, 5 and 10. I hope the children are continuing to enjoy the Numbot's App at home to help with their recall of number facts.
Our PE sessions for the Term 5 will be on Monday and Wednesday. Please continue to send your child into school wearing their PE kits on these days. We hope to get outside a lot more this term so please ensure your child has trainers in school on our PE days. There is no Forest School during Term 5.
In Art we will be exploring printmaking and developing a simple design based on nature that can be replicated through printing. We will also continue to use our sketchbooks as a tool for experimentation and developing our ideas.
In PSHE we will be thinking about economic wellbeing and exploring money in more detail. We will also be focussing on being EPIC by demonstrating 'resourcefulness' and 'compassion'.
Each day, children need a named water bottle in school (containing just water please) and a healthy snack if they wish to have one at break time. We recommend a piece of fruit, chopped vegetables, yoghurt, cheese, smoothie etc. As the weather warms up, please also send in a sun hat and ensure an all day sunscreen in applied before school.
If you ever have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch via Class Dojo. Do keep an eye on Class Dojo updates as this is our main form of communicating with you.
