Term 2 - From Fireworks to Frost

During term 2, we will be exploring the changes that take place between autumn and winter our learning journey, From Fireworks to Frost.

This learning journey has a main focus of Science and History.

The children will be learning about The Gunpowder Plot, why we celebrate Bonfire Night, and what this looks like in Sussex. They will be writing their own firework poems as well as learning a traditional bonfire poem to recite around the bonfire with a hot chocolate!

In Science we will start the term looking at seasonal changes in autumn, including the differences between evergreen and deciduous trees, the changes in clothing and measuring rainfall. Later on in the term we move on to identifying materials.

Later in the term the children will be looking at whether they shop the same way that their great grandparents did and will go on a scavenger hunt around Uckfield.

Useful Information

Homework is an extremely valuable addition to your child's learning. We ask that you complete the following homework activities each week with your child to maximise their progress and learning potential in Year 1.

Read 4 times each week. You can use the reading book your child brings home or can access Bug Club using the details stuck in the front of your child's reading diary.

We are excited to be following the 'Supersonic Phonic Friends' scheme. Each week you will receive a sheet that includes a recap of the sounds focussed on in class and revision activities to be completed at home.

REMINDERS

PE

Our current PE days are Monday and Thursday, but kit may be needed at other times so please make sure you always have a PE kit in school. Please make sure hair is tied back and earrings are removed in advance.

READING

The children are expected to read at least 4 times a week at home. Please complete their reading diary when they have done this. Each read at home will contribute to their reading challenge.

SPELLINGS

Each term we will send home a list of words for the children to focus on. These will be in their spelling journals and consist of both non-compliant words and spelling patterns. We expect the children to work on these at home as well as in school.

MATHS

Here are some good resources to help with fluency. We expect the children to be focusing initially on adding and subtracting to ten before moving onto working within twenty.
