Welcome to Year 1 and 2 

We hope you have had a lovely break and are now looking forward to all the exciting things we are going to be doing during the Autumn term 2026.

Here are some of the topics the children will be covering this term. You can find more detail on this on the 'Curriculum page'.

• English: Fiction -fantasy stories and stories about historical events. Non fiction writing- instructions. 
• Maths: Place value, addition and subtraction, 2 and 3 shape
• Science: This term it's about materials and animals (including humans)
• Art: Working in colour- to include painting and printing
• History: We will be thinking about 'what is history?'
• Geography: Where am I?
• PSHE: Me and My world and celebrating differnces
• RE: What is God's job? and why should we care for others?

P.E days are Monday and Friday. Children will be getting changed for their lessons in school. We will be inside on Mondays and as far as possible, outside on Fridays- weather permitting- so make sure a few warm clothes are put in PE bags. A spare pair of socks is advisable for girls who wear tights on these days. PE bags will be hung on named pegs in the corridor outside the classroom and sent home at the end of each half term to be checked.

There will be no timetabled Forest school sessions for year one and two this term but there will be opportunities for outdoor learinng within our curriculum time. We will let you know any specific arrangements later in the term.

We are also delighted to welcome Miss Singleton, our associate teacher, who will work alongside us with the class this term. 

Reading

As you are aware, reading is one of the most important things your child will do during KS1. If you can, we would like you to be reading at least three times per week at home for 15 minutes - even better if you can manage reading every day if possible! Please can an adult record when a child has read at home in their reading diary and also indicate when they have finished a book so we can provide them with another one. We encourage the children to build up stamps on reading awards too, leading to certificates in Friday assemblies. This year, we will be sending two books home every week. Books will be changed for year 1  on Mondays and year 2 on Thursdays.

Please look at our yearly overview so you can see the other things we will be covering over the year.

If you do have anything you wish to discuss, please pop in and see us.

Thank you for your continued support.

Mrs King and Mrs Bebbington
