Welcome to Autumn 2!
It is wet! You must bring a waterproof coat and suitable shoes.
Reading is frequently proven to help children in life and learning. Please read everyday at home.

In English, we will:
- Continue to ensure our non-negotiable, Year 1 skills regarding accuracy and punctuation are in place at all times.
- learn about the four different sentence types: exclamation, command, question and statement.
- learn how to use commas in a list
- continue to practise joined handwriting
- begin to think about subordination
- show off our narrative skills in an independent write.
- continue to build fluency with our number facts below 10
- bridge the ten through subtraction and addition
- find the difference between two 2-digit numbers
- begin to explore adding and subtracting 2-digit numbers
Book-bags should be brought into school every day: we encourage children to be as independent as possible and to remember their book-bag for themselves. Children can change their books in any silent reading session – it is up to them to let us know they need to.
The children can go home with two new books every week: a Library book and a book-band fluency book. Children can choose to keep their class book corner book in their trays. .We hear children read in Guided Reading sessions, and individually at other times. We try to do this once per week per child.
Children are encouraged to change their books regularly.
Our PE day is on Tuesday (outdoor). This half-term, the indoor PE curriculum is woven into our Drama sessions for the KS1 Christmas Performance.
On PE days please bring your Morley PE kit to change into at school (see here for more details). A PE kit consists of T-shirt, shorts, long-sleeved top and jogging bottoms, spare socks, trainers or plimsolls. Long hair must be tied back and no jewellery please.
Children will need to bring a filled and named water bottle to school each day. The class tap is drinking water and the children are able to fill their bottles as needed.
Homework will be set on Monday via Google Classroom. Login details will be found in your child’s reading record. Homework will be acknowledged by the class teacher on Google Classroom or in person.
