Practising graphemes

Autumn term 1

In this first term we will focus on settling into the daily routine of school and exploring within the classroom, shared area and outside. We will meet our new class peers for the first time and make many new friends at Holy Family.

We will be starting our daily phonics sessions, where we will be introduced to a new sound every day so we must attend on time so we don't miss out. The sounds (graphemes) that will be taught this term are: 

s a t p i n g o c k ck

In maths, we will be learning and exploring how to sort, match and organise objects into different groups and then quickly move on to comparing size, mass and capacity. At the end of the term, maths will focus on numbers and how we can represent numbers from 1-3. We will also look at how we can find 1 more and 1 less of a given number. 

In RE we will be looking at God's world and how it was created in 7 days. We will also be talking about how God loves every one of us and how we are all unique and special. Within worship, we will be looking at how we dress our altar together and how it is a precious time spent together to reflect and pray. We will introduce children to our daily prayer routine which is followed throughout the school.

Our topic this term will be people who help us, we will look at roles within our community that support us daily such as dentists, doctors, construction workers and emergency services. We have an inspiring roleplay corner set up ready for the children to roleplay with resources that will allow them to engage in creative and imaginative play.

Phonics

Each week your child will continue to bring home a new reading book containing the sounds they have been taught that week in school.

We recommend reading with your child daily and leaving a comment in the reading record provided.

Please return your child’s reading pack to school every day.
