We are beginning our recovery curriculum across our subjects and we have planned plenty of ‘recap’ lessons within most topics to ensure thorough understanding.
We begin the autumn term by thinking about ‘Holidays’. We find places on a map and use atlases to find countries, oceans and continents. We cover some Year 1 objectives about the UK and capital cities. We also identify physical and human features of the seaside. We read stories from ‘The Lighthouse Keeper’ series and design and make sandwiches linked to the Lighthouse Keeper’s lunch.
In maths we are following the White Rose scheme. This ensures that all key learning across the KS1 curriculum is covered. It also provides a suitable home learning link which keeps anyone on track with the school curriculum who may be having to self-isolate or may be in an area of localised lock-down.
Before half-term we move onto our ‘Materials’ topic with a science link and investigate what different objects are made of, their properties and the suitability of their materials for each object’s different purposes. We will go over some of the Year 1 key vocabulary, as they also share this topic, to ensure coverage. We also explore recycling and new inventions related to materials.
After half-term we begin our topics on ‘Remembrance’ and ‘Special Places’. We learn about WW1 and WW2 and the children enjoy finding out about the soldiers and their lives during those wars. We give the children insight into the Christian religion, as well as discussing the impact on the community of the war-time bombing of Coventry city’s cathedral as usually we would visit the cathedral during this term. This topic culminates in our school Remembrance service.
We finish our term with Christmas activities and learning about incarnation and Christian beliefs. All of the children get an opportunity to take part in our nativities which they thoroughly enjoy.
