Year 1: Cherry Tree
Cherry Tree Class 2025-26
Welcome to Term 4!
We are officially half way through the year and still have so many exciting things to learn!
The theme for our learning this term is a historical one and we ask ourselves 'How has Cottesmore changed since the 1950's?' We will focussing on the different kinds of shops Cottesmore has had over the last 70 years and hopefully be interviewing some Cottesmore residents to find out how the shopping experience has changed.
In Science we will learn about animals focussing on birds, mammals, amphibians and reptiles. We will also find out which are carnivores, herbivores and omnivores. This learning will compliment our project in art which is to create 3D sculptures of birds.
In PSHE we will be thinking about Citizenship and will recognise the importance of having rules. We will also look at the responsibilities of owning pets as well as exploring the differences between people. In addition we will remember our EPIC school values, focusing this term on being respectful and demonstrating loyalty.
Our Forest School sessions return from Week 3 of this term and we are excited to see how the woods have changed since our last visit. Our new PE day for this term will be on Friday as we are learning all about Invasion Games as part of our enrichment sessions.
In Literacy we will be reading and exploring the story of 'Where the Wild Things Are' by Maurice Sendak. We will use this to help us write our own stories and non-chronological reports. In addition, we will continue to have a daily phonics session focussing on reading and writing words containing all Set 1, 2 and 3 words (real and alien words).
In Maths we continue to work with addition and subtraction to ten before moving onto adding and subtracting one digit and two digit numbers up to 20. We will also explore odd and even numbers as well as investigating doubling and halving. Please remember to keep using our Numbots App too!
For more detail on the rest of our learning, please see our termly plan and knowledge organisers below.
As always, please get in touch via Class Dojo if you have any queries.
Thank you for your continued support.
