Learning goals

  • We are learning to use comprehension strategies, such as visualising, predicting, connecting, summarising and questioning to make meaning.
  • We are learning to write known lower case and upper case letters using learned letter formations, functional posture and pencil grip.
  • We are learning to use comprehension strategies to find literal and inferred meaning in texts.
  • We are learning to write words using unjoined lower case and upper case letters using functional pencil grip.
  • We are learning to use comprehension strategies to find literal and inferred meaning in texts and begin to analyse texts by drawing on our knowledge.
  • We are learning to identify the places we live in and belong to, e.g. neighbourhood, suburb, town and describe why these places are important.
  • We are learning to recognise natural, managed and constructed features of places, their location, how they change and how they can be cared for.
  • We are learning to use appropriate interaction skills to respond to others in a familiar environment.
  • We are learning to recognise the impact that facial expressions and gestures have when asking for and providing information, making offers, exclaiming, requesting and giving commands.
  • We are learning to use comprehension strategies, such as retelling, making inferences and finding key words to make meaning from multimodal texts.
  • We are learning to write known lower case and upper case letters using learned letter formations, correct posture and pencil grip.
  • We are learning to create story maps or models to represent the location of places and features.
  • We are learning to identify the places we live in and belong to, e.g. neighbourhood, suburb, town, and describe the features of these places.
  • We are learning to understand the reasons why some places are special to people, and how they can be looked after.
  • We are learning to recognise the impact that facial expressions and gestures have when interacting with others.
  • We are learning to explore different ways of expressing emotions.
  • We are learning to understand the difference between commands, statements and questions (both open and closed).
  • We are learning to use comprehension strategies to find literal and inferred meaning in texts.
  • We are learning to form all upper and lower-case letters correctly.
  • We are learning to identify activities in our local place on a map, e.g. medical, police, waste management, and suggesting the reasons for their location.
  • We are learning to write upper and lower-case unjoined letters and sentences legibly using correct pencil grip and posture.
