Spring 2

This half term in Year 1 we will be learning...

Collective Worship

Throughout each half term we will be focusing on a different value each week. The values we will be exploring are respect, love, forgiveness, service, friendship and peace. We will be listening to and responding to a range of Bible stories that teach Christians about the importance of our values.

English

We will be looking at the text, ‘Where the Wild Things Are’ by Maurice Sendak. We will be writing a portal story and an information text.

Reading Eggs

https://readingeggs.co.uk/

Each half term, we will be accessing Reading Eggs on a weekly basis. The aim is for every child to complete a minimum of 5 reading sessions per week.  

Most of these sessions will be completed in school, however it would be extremely beneficial for children to be accessing it from home on a weekly basis as well.  The aim of this programme is to improve children's reading and comprehension skills, by quickly adapting to meet the exact needs of every child.
