Welcome to Year 1

I am Miss Bell and am delighted to be teaching Year 1 this year.

The children have all settled in well and are looking forward to the year ahead.

In our class we are supported by Mrs Moore, Mrs Brock and Mrs Watson.

This term we will be learning about Toys

We have P.E once a week on Tuesday

In order to support your child at home with their learning please encourage them to: 

• Be responsible readers and read every night
• Complete all the home learning tasks set
• Read through their study books  
• Practice adding and subtracting on numbots

Spring Term Learning

This term in Phonics we will be learning set 1, 2 & 3 RWI sounds. We will be practising recognising ‘special friends’ in words and blending sounds to read words.

In English we will be using the Writing Rainbow to secure and build on our basic sentence structure (capital letters, full stops, finger spaces, making sense, using our sounds to spell).

In Maths we will be covering the topics of addition and subtraction within 20, shapes and patterns, length and height and numbers to 40.

 In Science we will be learning about our bodies and the animal kingdom.

In computing our unit of work is ‘Lego Builders’ where the children will begin to think logically about scenarios. The children will be introduced to the term ‘algorithm’. This concept is at the core of coding. The next unit (Maze Explorers), builds upon this, linking logical thought processes to the way that computers are programmed.

In Geography this term the children will learn how to locate London on a map and describe its location and find out about the features of London.

In History the children will learn about the Great Fire of London.

In Art the children will use a variety of techniques, e.g. rolling, cutting, pinching and use a variety of shapes, including lines and texture to create art using paper. The children will create paper Mache sculptures and collages.

In D.T their topic is ‘Playgrounds’ and they will explore the components, materials and features of playground equipment. They will then design, create and make a piece of playground equipment.

We will be taking part in the PSHCE topics of ‘Dreams and Goals’ and ‘Healthy Me’.

.

In R.E. we will be asking ‘Was it always easy for Jesus to show friendship?’ and ‘Why was Jesus welcomed like a king or celebrity by the crowds on Palm Sunday?’

In Music we will be studying the units ‘In the Groove’ and ‘Round and Round’, learning about different styles of music.

All of the curriculum information can be found on the curriculum page on the website. 

If you would like to speak to me about your child’s learning please contact the office and I will be in contact. 

Please check the website regularly as we will be updating it with all of the wonderful learning that has been taking place. 

This half terms home learning projects are due in on Wednesday 14th October. I look forward to seeing all of your wonderful work!
