Maths

Our learning in Maths in the Autumn Term focuses on Number Sense within 10. This includes:

• Sorting and grouping objects
• Comparing numbers within 10 using 'fewer than', 'less than', 'more than', 'greater than' and 'equal to'
• Counting forwards and backwards within 10 
• Using a number line from 0-10 to plot numbers and to recognise where a number would be on the number line
• Exploring part-whole models
• Deepening understanding of number bonds to 10

What 1T pupils say about Maths:

"I like doing counting." - Jodie

English

In Autumn Term we work through focus texts within our learning in English.

These focus texts are:

• This is Me by George Webster
• Katie in London by James Mayhew
• Katie in Scotland by James Mayhew
• The Polar Express by Chris Van Allsberg

Through this work we explore new vocabulary and how to use it appropriately, sentence structures and important grammatical components of a sentence including capital letters and full stops and word classes including verbs, nouns and adjectives.

"Polar Express Day was so much fun!" - Hellie, Harvey and William

"I like learning about new words." - Poppy-Mae
