Welcome to Autumn Term 2025!

This term we are learning about where we live.

KS1 are brilliant at enquiring and asking interesting questions and so we have set them lots of challenges this term to get their brains buzzing! In geography we will learn all the skills we need to be able to find out more about Arnold, Nottingham and the whole of the UK. Later on in the term, we will be busy being scientists so that we can discover what it means to be an animal and begin our year long scientific study of seasonal changes by observing our adopted trees. During the second half term we will travel back in time to uncover the mysteries of the Great Fire of London. Using our art and DT skills, we will draw London's skyline and then design a make a Tudor house. In RE, we will be thinking about how to care for others and exploring how different religions celebrate festivals. In PSHCE we will be thinking about relationships and how we grow and change. We will continue to build on our knowledge of British values and learn about protected characteristics. In English, we will be writing fiction and non-fiction texts, building our understanding of composition, punctuation, spelling and handwriting. Read Write will continue to be our daily phonics and reading session. In Maths we will be using the mastery approach to learn about place value and addition and subtraction. Our online safety lessons through Project Evolve are an important part of our computing curriculum and we will continue to learn how to stay safe.

See below for all of our knowledge organisers and sequence of learning for the whole year.

2025-2026

A few little reminders...

Your child will need a labelled water bottle in school every day.
Mondays and Wednesdays are our PE days. Please come to school wearing PE kit and school jumpers/cardigans on PE days. Long hair needs tying back and earrings either removed or covered up for safety purposes
Your child will continue to receive a free piece of fruit every day
If your child would like to order toast then you must do this through your MCAS App. This is prebooked and paid for before the day.
We will change your child's reading books every Friday. They will need to bring all reading books and their diary into school every day. This will allow us to read with them when we can and change their books each Friday.
We cannot backdate the children's reading so please ensure they have their diary every Friday so they can be given their stars towards their reading pins.
Please check that all the children's items of clothing are labelled.
