Autumn 1
For the love of reading text
‘The Three Little Pigs’
In Literacy we will be focusing on ‘The Three Little Pigs’. We will be exploring the text and using story maps to retell the story. We will be looking at setting descriptions, focusing on the different houses and what the wolf gets up to! We will be applying our phase 2 phonics in writing.
White Rose Maths
In Maths we will be using White Rose and their ‘small step’ ethos. We will be sorting, comparing and matching objects. We will be furthering our skills and knowledge around numbers 0 to 5. Looking at subitising, representing, finding one more and one less and looking at compositions of the numbers from 0 to 5 too.
Geography/ History / Understanding the World
This half term we will be understanding that we live in England and understand what it is like to live here.
Science / Understanding the world
We will be beginning to recognise the signs of Autumn and understanding the effects of changing seasons on the natural world around us by focusing on trees and how they change. We will observe these changes of the trees over the year.

Spellings/ Reading
Each week our spellings and reading will directly link to the sounds we are teaching during phonics. We may repeat some spellings or reading books to allow children to confidently apply the phonics they have learnt. This half term we will be recapping phase 2 phonics using the All Aboard phonics scheme.
