Autumn KS1 Project Overview 26
We’re excited to welcome the children back for a fun and inspiring autumn term. Below you’ll find everything you need to know about what’s coming up…
Weekly Routines
PE – Tuesdays
PE kits should remain in school for the entire half term. Kits should include:
- A plain white or blue t‑shirt
- Black jogging bottoms
- Plain trainers or plimsolls
Homework – Mondays: Homework will be handed out every Monday and marked on Fridays.
Reading, Library & Phonics Books
- Library books and phonics books will be changed on Fridays.
- Reading records will be checked on Monday or Tuesday each week.
- Children must bring their reading diary and books to school every day.
- We encourage children to read 3–5 times a week at home, with an adult where possible, to support their progress.
What We’re Learning This Term
English: Children will explore a range of engaging texts linked to our wider curriculum, including The Colour Monster Goes to School and The Day the Crayons Quit. These stories help develop reading comprehension, writing skills and imaginative discussion. Daily phonics will continue through Read Write Inc.
Maths: We begin the term with place value, helping children understand the value of each digit. We then move on to addition and subtraction supported with practical application.
Science: Our science work will offer plenty of hands‑on opportunities for exploration and investigation and include everyday materials, the seasons and animals including humans.
History: Our topic, Schools in the Past, invites children to compare their own school experiences with those of their parents, grandparents and even Victorian children.
Geography: We will explore where we live and learn how to locate places on a map.
Art & Design Technology: In art, children will create drawings inspired by nature. In DT, they will design and build stable structures and test whether their creations can stay up in different conditions.
We’re looking forward to a school year filled with creativity, discovery, and joy. Thank you for your continued support.
