DAILY ROUTINE
Every day starts with registration, during which time supported reading is happening, so please give your child their best chance of developing their reading skills by making sure they are at school on time. This is followed by our literacy session where the children will be learning about spelling, punctuation and grammar alongside learning about different forms of writing. This term we will look at non-chronological reports. This will be followed by our maths session , which will take us up to lunchtime and will include topics such as place value, addition and subtraction, length, height and measurement.how to read by learning their single letter and digraph sounds and how to use them to decode words for reading and encode sounds into writing.

READING
Children read with a grown up frequently in Pipits class. Pipits class swap their reading books twice per week and the timing/format of that swap will depend on their Read Write Inc group. Children will keep book(s) for three to four nights; to read and gain a general knowledge and understanding of the words within the text and then to build up fluency and work on comprehension. This will support your child as they begin to tackle more complex words and longer texts over the year both at home and at school in our Read, Write, Inc. sessions.
For information on how we teach phonics in Year 1, please visit our Curriculum/Phonics page.
PE
We have a double PE session on Fridays but please make sure that your child's PE kit is in school at all times in case of timetable changes. We also ask that all items are clearly named.
