Penketh Primary School

This term, we will be consolidating our knowledge and understanding of Phase 5 Phonics where children will learn alternative pronunciations and spellings for phonemes. We will continue to practice our segmenting and blending skills through reading and writing.

We begin our maths lessons with an engaging hook that gets the children to independently investigate the problems. Lessons will then utilise a range of sources including: Maths No Problem, White Rose, NCETM.

We will be learning about units of measure this term: height, length, weight, volume and mass, before looking at time and money.
 

As we near the end of the school year, we will evaluate how the Seasons in the year have changed and what will happen to the weather, day length as we near the next school year.

Our sunflower project willl also draw to an end this term, as we see how high our sunflowers have grown.

We will also consolidate our learning about animals by taking a closer look at the human body and how our senses help us. 

We will be learning all about our local area - Warrington. Our investigations will look at the human and physical characteristics of the town and where it lies within the UK.

We will be learning about the significant life of author, Lewis Carroll and his links to our town of Warrington. 

We will begin our study of Lewis Carroll by celebrating one of his most famous pieces of work - Alice in Wonderland.

Every Friday morning, Year One will have PE with Mr Kashiri. Please ensure that your child has a suitable PE kit for the changing weather and a water bottle, so that they can fully enjoy their PE sessions.

Please also ensure that your child's uniform and PE kit is labelled with their name - this will avoid any items getting lost.
