Fun Fact about me: I lived in Australia for seven years until I missed Cornwall too much so I moved back home to be closer to family and the beautiful Cornish beaches. I have taught in Australia, New Zealand and Sri Lanka but in my opinion Cornwall tops them all!

English
This term, we will be basing our writing on the story of 'After the storml' and using Grammarsaurus to deepen and consolidate our undertanding of key grammar. The children will use the story to embed the use of key words and continue to build our stamina and accuracy in writing. 
Reading
We teach reading through Little Wandle. We continue to develop our reading skills, including decoding, prosody and comprehension. We encourage a love of reading through engaging in a range of different book types and genres. We need your support with this and ask you to read 5 times a week and record this in your child's reading record. Please ensure your child's book and reading record are in school every day. 
 
Maths
In maths, we begin to undertand and use different types of measurements, such as height, length, mass and volumne. They will also develop their undertanding of multiplication and division focusing on 2s, 5s and 10s, doubling, arrays, grouping and sharing. They will also be introduced to fractions, learning about 1/2s and 1/4s.  

Continuous Learning
Within Year 1 we follow a Continuous Provision alongside our whole class and group teaching.The children will have a main lesson input as a whole class and then complete their independent work with an adult in a small, focused group.  They are then able to access activities within the classroom or outside alongside this learning which will further their understanding of topics. 
PE
Our P.E. days in Fleming are Monday and Friday. Please make sure your child comes to school wearing their kit. 
 
Homework Learning

Weekly overview of phonics and tricky words to practice at home. Daily reading.
