Maths

In maths this term we are looking at place value up to 20 and moving on to addition and subtraction withing 20. In this small step, children build on their learning from earlier in the year as they explore addition by counting on from a given number within 20. The use of ten frames and counters or cubes is particularly useful, together with bar models. Children should begin to understand that addition is commutative (although they do not need to formally know the word), and that it is more efficient to start from the greater number than the smaller number. For example, when working out 1 + 13, it is quicker to add 1 to 13 than to add 13 to 1. A number line is a particularly useful tool to exemplify this point, as children see the benefit of drawing just 1 jump rather than drawing 13 jumps.
It is important that children see that they are not just counting the total of two separate numbers or items; rather,they are adding to what they already have.

Phonics and reading

In year 1 we will focus on sounds in the extended code, both phonics and reading will be taught daily. The phonics books the children will read will match the sound that they are exploring in phonics. On Friday each week a new phonics book will be sent home for you to read with your child. The children will have read this book in school before they bring it home. The book needs to be returned to school on a Thursday.
