Year 1 Welcome Letter

Summer Term

The children have settled back into school and are all ready for our new theme 'Go Wild!'.

For the first half term we are learning about farms in geography, identifying animals in science, thinking about picnic food in design and technology and becoming story tellers in computing! We are also thinking about Buddhism in R.E. If you have any questions do not hesitate to come and ask - or take a look at the Year 1 curriculum map for summer term smiley

We had such a wonderful time at the Sealife Centre in Birmingham. The children learnt a lot on our tour and they  represented the school amazingly. W are very proud of them all!

Outdoor Maths

We have recently been learning about shape, size, time and we are always practicing our counting! This week we went outside for our maths lesson and used sticks to make shapes and order lengths, leaves to count and finally we timed ourselves to run across the field! We had a lot of fun.

Week 5 Already!

 

We have been so busy in Year 1 that we can not believe it is week 5 already! In maths we have been looking at 2D and 3D shapes and we are even starting to look at halves and quarters. In science we have been investigating our bodies and our five senses. In history we have really enjoyed looking at Victorian homes and what they used to look like. Finally, in geography we have been looking at where we live and we will be going on a local walk soon to find out more!
