Spring Term – Year 1

English

This term our focus text is The Curious Case of the Missing Mammoth.

The children will explore the story in depth through reading, discussion and a range of oracy activities. Our writing tasks will be based around this text, including story writing, character descriptions and recounts.

There will also be lots of opportunities for writing across the curriculum in other subjects.

Maths

Place Value (within 50)

In this unit, children will develop their understanding of place value within 50. They will count forwards and backwards, identify tens and ones, and represent numbers using objects, pictures and numerals. Children will also compare and order numbers to 50, building confidence in how numbers are structured.

We will be using practical equipment and pictorial representations to support learning.

Phonics

This half term we are focusing on alternative spellings for sounds that the children already know.

The sounds we will be learning are:

Week 1- /u/ (spelt o) and review of previously taught sounds
