Year 1: Cherry Tree
Cherry Tree Class 2025-26
Welcome to Term 3!
A happy new year to you all!
We have so many wonderful plans in the weeks ahead! It's hard to believe we are already in Term 3 of our exciting journey together.
The theme for our learning this term is ‘Where do I live?' and we will be asking ourselves 'What is our local area like?'. We will focus predominantly on Cottesmore and enjoy walking around the village to spot key landmarks and distinguish between human and physical features.
In Design Technology this term we will be learning all about vegetables. We will design and make our own delicious vegetable soup to share with our Year 2 friends on a cold winter's day!
In RE, we will be asking ourselves 'Who is Muslim and how do they live?'. We will learn about Allah and the Prophet Muhammed together with some stories associated with them. We will also find out about the Qur'an, the Islamic holy book.
In PSHE we will be thinking about 'keeping safe' and we will also focus on being EPIC by demonstrating 'resilience' and 'tolerance'. A big focus for Year 1 is to be able to understand and use 'the power of yet' to develop a positive growth mindset.

Our PE sessions for the Term 6 will continue to be on a Wednesday and Thursday. This term our focus will be gymnastic and yoga.
In Literacy we will be reading the story 'Hermelin The Detective Mouse' by Mini Grey and using this as a basis for all our learning. In addition, the children have a daily phonics session where we focus on learning sounds, reading and writing. We will continue to read and write words containing all Set 1, 2 and 3 sounds (including reading 'alien' or nonsense words).
In Maths we will continue to deepen our understanding of numbers to 10 and move on to reading and writing numbers up to 20. We will use and understand the symbols for addition, subtraction and equals. We will also be looking at 2D and 3D shapes and learning their names and key properties. 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.
