Tawny Owls Y1
Autumn Term 2
This term we will be continuing our topic of 'On The Farm'. We will explore this topic across our curriculum, including through Geography, and English. In Science we will continue our learning of Plants
In Phonics we will be continuing to learn new digraphs and apply our known sounds in our reading and writing.
On Wednesdays (starting 13/11) we will be doing gymnastics in PE. We will need to wear our PE kits to school on these days.
On Thursday mornings for this term (starting 7/11) we will be at Forest School. We need to come to school in our forest schools clothes and bring our school uniform in a bag to change into after.
Please continue to read at home and sign in the reading diaries each time. We should aim to read our Monster Phonics books at least three times. Our books will continue to be changed on Fridays.
We are looking forward to another fabulous term!

- The children will need to bring in a named water bottle each day.
- PE this term will take place on Wednesday afternoons (starting 13th November).
- Children will need to come into school wearing their PE kit. Please make sure that all of your children's items are NAMED so they can easily be recognised. We all know how unpredictable the British weather can be and the children will be doing PE both inside and outside, so send them in with layers and a waterproof. The children will need to be wearing the following items:
- A plain white PE top
- Navy or black bottoms. These could include:
- shorts
- joggers
- leggings
- A plain blue or black PE jumper

- Reading Books - each Friday the children will bring home a Monster Phonics book, plus another book of their choice. The children will read the Monster Phonics book during our Guided Reading sessions before bringing it home to share with you. Please continue to sign the reading diaries each time you read at home. The reading diaries should be in school every day. The children have a zipped plastic wallet to keep their diary and reading books in. This must be with the books each day.
- Homework - the children will bring home one piece of homework in their green folders. This is a consolidation activity where the children can practise the learning that they have done in class. The children should be able to complete this activity quite confidently by themselves.
