In Year one, the children will take the statutory phonics screening check in the summer term. Therefore, it is crucial that a consistent approach to the teaching of phonics is used. We deliver phonics using the Read Write Inc (RWI) phonics scheme.
Please check your ClassDojo for:
RWI phonics, TT Rock Stars and reading homework.
Home Learning
Home learning is set each week by the class teacher on ClassDojo. This will consist of reading, phonics and maths and is checked each week. Reading at home is extremely important, and we would like all children to read at home at least 3 times per week.
Please don't forget that if you have any questions or queries, then please contact your class teacher via ClassDojo between 8.30am - 4.30pm Monday to Friday.
Here is a list of educational websites that you might want to use with your children at home. These websites include a range of curricular activities.

Welcome to the Incredibles class page!

For the Spring 2 half-term we will be enjoying the topic ‘What do we know about the Victorians and the way they lived?’
In this topic, we will be super historians. We will learn about Queen Victoria and her reign and will find out a little about her life and why she was one of the most important monarchs.
In Design and Technology, we will understand and explore the word ‘stability’, exploring the features of structures and the stability of different shapes. We will also design our own structure and assemble our own structure so that it is stable enough to make a ‘chair’. Once complete, we will use our design criteria and our finished product to test and evaluate our structures. We will evaluate its strength, stiffness and stability.
In English, we will be completing lots of fun learning activities based on the stories of ‘Dogger’ by Shirley Hughes and Disney’s ‘Peter Pan’. The children will be retelling and later innovating these stories. They will also use story maps and differentiated texts to help them write these narratives. We will be learning to plan our writing, breaking it up into beginning, middle and end, as well as correctly using their just-do-it rules! As well as going on a journey into the world of narratives, the children will also explore non-fiction texts and write a non-chronological report about being a Victorian child. We can't wait to see what the children achieve!

In Maths, our clever mathematicians are learning about multiplication and division. They will also be developing their knowledge of statistics, length and height, properties of shape and fractions. The children will also use concrete, pictorial and abstract methods to solve problems and challenges. If you need any support with helping your child at home, please don’t hesitate to contact your child’s class teacher via Class Dojo.
We will also be learning about data and information and will create pictograms. Children will begin to understand what the term data means and how data can be collected in the form of a tally chart. They will learn the term ‘attribute’ and use this to help them organise data. They will then progress on to presenting data in the form of pictograms and finally block diagrams. Learners will use the data presented to answer questions.
To support your child further with their reading skills, please click here to watch Read, Write, Inc's engaging phonics videos. Your child will be familiar with the routines used in Read, Write, Inc.
