Autumn 1

This half term in Year 1/2 Turtles 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

This half term we will be looking at the story 'The Adventures of Egg Box Dragon'. The children will write their own instructions based on the story. Following this unit, the children will then create information posters.

Reading Eggs

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.
