Year 1CS
Hello, and welcome to 1CS!
I am Miss Shields, the class teacher, and Mrs Thelwell and Mrs Francis are the teaching assistants.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to talk to us; we are always happy to support you in any way we can and are available before and after school.
In Literacy we are currently learning the story of The Tiger who came to Tea and writing a diary entry. We will be learning about writing in first person and using our steps to success to write the perfect sentences. Our focus this term is letter formation, finger spaces, capital letters and full stops. We are also working on putting our phonics sessions into practice by using our sounds to spell words phonetically.
During Maths this term we are working on Place Value to 20 before moving onto addition and subtraction within 20. We will be looking at the value of each number and where the numbers are placed on a number line. We will be practising counting, reading and writing numbers as words. Also, we will be counting forwards and backwards to 20, looking at one more and one less whilst representing numbers in different ways using various equipment. We will continue embedding a mastery approach to our Maths learning, this includes focusing on improving and securing our knowledge of number facts that will help children’s recall so they can work out their answers quicker.
Our new Topic this term is Changemakers. We will be learning about various important, historical people who have a made significant change to positively impact our society. We will look at each individual, their lives, what they have done and how this has brought about positive change.
In Science we will be learning all about Animals including Humans. We will be learning about the different animal groups, including the different group names: Reptile, Mammal, Birds, Fish and Amphibians. When including humans, we will be identifying and naming parts of the outer body that can be seen e.g. arms, legs, hands, head, ears, feet, eyes, mouth, nose, stomach.
P.E takes place every Thursday and Friday for 1CS and Wednesday and Thursday for 1EB. Please ensure that your child has their P.E kit in school.
The P.E kit is a plain white t-shirt, black shorts or leggings and a pair of black trainers which can be worn as part of their school uniform. It is very important your child has the correct uniform to ensure safety on the equipment. This will change on a termly basis but we will let you know.
Please ensure your child brings their book bag into school every Monday so we can change their book and return them on the same day.
