Year 1

Welcome to Year 1

Welcome to Year 1

We have had a very exciting Autumn term learning lots of new things. We have been learning to use our phonics in our writing pieces as well as trying to remember capital letters, finger spaces and full stops in our sentences. We did some learning about animals in Science as well as began to learn all about balancing in PE. In History we did lots of learning about The Great Fire of London which linked to our Geography learning about the United Kingdom and London. 

Spring term

In the Spring term we have lots more exciting curriculum topics to discover. During History we will be learning all about Rosa Parks and the impact she had on America. In Geography we will be exploring Australia, including the Great Barrier Reef. Within Art we are going to be exploring portraits and looking further into the work of Thomas Gainsborough. 

English

In Spring term we are going to be continuing to apply our phonics to our writing to help us spell, as well as begin to write for a variety of audiences. We will be doing this by looking at the book Mr Big. We will continue to practice letter formation as well as ensuring our sentences have capital letters, full stops and finger spaces. 

Maths

In Maths, Year 1 will begin to look at addition within 10 and 20, using tens frames and part whole models to help. We will also begin to learn out 2 times tables as well as doubling and halving.
