Year 1 Learning Narrative – Autumn Term 2019

The children arrive back to find strange footprints dotted throughout the school. They lead them to an abandoned egg.
Who did the egg belong to?
What was inside?
How did it get there?
Following this unknown discovery, the children will uncover the owner of the egg and enter the land of the dinosaurs. They will learn who once ruled the planet and study important people from our past.

At White Meadows Primary we use the Read Write Inc. phonics programme across both Key Stages up to Year 3. This phonics scheme provides a systematic approach to literacy, both reading and writing, which is fun and engaging. This is supplemented with the use of phonetically decodable books from Oxford Reading Tree and the Phonic Bug schemes, along with a range of other texts. Further details on how you can support your child can be found on the Read Write Inc. website.
In addition to the above programme, we also use the Big Write and Big Maths schemes and Little Big Maths in Foundation Stage.
