Cranborne Primary School
Welcome to Year 1!
Red word lists
Please see the red words that match your childs reading level and work on reading these at home.
Key information:
- Please remember that all children need a named water bottle in school every day.
- Let your child's teacher know if someone other than you is collecting your child or call the office.
- Please name all items of clothing
Phonics screening
In June, we will be carrying out phonics assessments. We will be practising reading words in this format all year: please see below some past papers.
Phonics
Phonics is a very important part of the Year 1 curriculum. This is why we dedicate three sessions a week to teach stand alone phonics lessons following the Read Write Inc. scheme. We teach the children initial sounds, and set 2 and 3 digraphs and trigraphs. A digraph is two letters together that make one sound such as 'sh' 'ee' and 'th'. A trigraph is three letters together that make one sound, such as ''igh' and 'air'. We learn a new sound in each of our phonics sessions. We start by identifying the sound in a word, we then write it down (with focus on letter formation), and then have a go at reading a short story with this sound used frequently in it.
Below is the order we will be teaching the sounds.
Useful websites
Oxford Owl have some great online e-books that you can read with your children. They link closely to the book bands too!

Please note, our PE days for the Autumn term are Tuesdays (indoor) and Thursdays (outdoor)
Reminders
P.E.
Indoor PE lesson - Tuesday
Outdoor PE lesson - Thursday
On these days, children are to come into school dressed in their PE kit. Please ensure they are in weather appropriate clothing as they will be outside at lunch and break times in these clothes.
Please also ensure that all parts of your child(ren)'s kit is clearly labelled. Long hair must always be tied back and it would be safer if earrings were not worn.
Reading Books
Please ensure that your child reads everyday at home, in addition to the daily reading they do at school. We can not stress how important this is in helping your child to become a confident and fluent reader. Additional reading books are avaliable on Oxford Owl. The log in for this is in your child's reading reccord.
Homework
We kindly ask that you read with your child every day and then sign their reading record so we know you have done this. We also, would like you to practice key maths skills with your child (counting to 20 forwards and back, number bonds to 10, 1 more and 1 less).

- Positional Language
- Numbers to 10 - finding patterns
- 1 more and 1 less
- Estimating and ordering
- Regrouping the whole

- Counting to 20 and back

- Counting in 2s, 5s and 10s
English
In the Autumn term, we will be focusing on word and sentence writing. Encouraging the children to say their sentence before attempting to write it.
Letter formation, handwriting and presentation
Letter families
Curly caterpillar letters: c, a, o, q, g, d, e, s, f. All of these letters start in the middle of the line and start with a c shape and then you carry on with the rest of the letter.
One armed robot letters: r, m, n, h, b, k, p. For these letters you need to start at the top of the letter and travel down and back up again and then over.
Ladder letters: l, I, j, t, u, y. All of these letters you need to start at the top of the letter and travel down.
Zig zag letters: v, w, x, z. These letters are all very straight and have no curves!
When writing on a line all letters should be on the line. Some letters have descenders where part of the letters go under the line, such as: y,g,q, p.
Some letters have ascenders where part of the letter is taller than the rest, such as: d, h, t, b.
Capital letters should always be bigger than the other letters.
Science
In the Autumn term, we will be learning about Animals including humans. We will be learning about Fish, Birds, Reptiles, Amphibians and Mammals. Along with; Herbivores, Carnivores and Omnivores.
Foundation Subjects
In Geography, we will be learning all about Our School looking at map reading skills.
In History, we will be learning about the History of Cranborne.
In Art this term, we will be studying the work of Joan Miro.
In PSHE this term, our puzzle pieces are 'Being me in my world' and 'Celebrating Differences'.
Home learning
In the case of bad weather and school closure, please see the list of activities below.
The work below will support your child in the key areas of arithmetic, reasoning, and phonics.
As well as these activities, you can make use of Mathletics ( for Maths ) and Purple Mash (for reading and other curriculum games). Please also see the Phonics screening papers and our educational games and songs.
You can use ' PE with Joe Wicks' you keep you moving. His YouTube Channel is: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyCLoPd4VxBuS4UeyHMccVAjpWaNbGomt
