Welcome to Autumn Term in Year 1
It is our first term in Year 1 at Crown Street Primary and we are excited for another fun-filled year of learning and exploration.
We will continue to strive to make your child’s experience in education special, continuing to develop their relationship with their teacher and learning support assistants, who will support them and ensure that their emotional and academic needs are met daily. Our aim is for your children to become confident learners and to carry their love of learning throughout their lives.
We will continue to learn and explore our six Character Traits as we move through this term and our new Curriculum Bookshelf.
Autumn Bookshelf
Our Autumn Bookshelf is filled with high quality, engaging texts which will inspire our learning across the curriculum. Through tales of courage, resilience, and overcoming obstacles, these books help to teach the children about the world we live in and equips them with the necessary skills to thrive throughout their school journey.
| Autumn term learning at a glance … In our first text, ‘Welcome to our World’ we will explore our similarities and differences and learn about interests. Next, we will immerse ourselves in ‘The Grand Hotel of Feelings’ where we will explore the different feelings. In Geography, we will explore our local area through developing our sense of place and developing our map reading skills. We will embark on an exciting adventure to the South Pole in the book Lost and Found, where we will utilise our curiosity to help the penguin return to his home. This will be followed on by the story Stick Man. We will analyse the text and explore the characters practising using capital letters, finger spaces, full stops and much more. In RE we will continue to develop our knowledge on the teachings and beliefs of a range of different religions and look at how this is represented in society across Great Britain. We will talk about what it means to belong to a faith community. It is going to be a busy and thoroughly enjoyable term!
