The latest Year 1 Learning Update!
This term in English, we will be diving into traditional tales, with a special focus on The Three Little Fish and the Big Bad Shark by Ken Geist. As part of our learning, the children will be retelling the key events of the story from the perspective of the main character.
This term in Mathematics, students will be revisiting key concepts such as number and place value. They will also be exploring position and shape, money, and time. Our lessons will incorporate a variety of hands-on and visual activities to support different learning styles and help students build a strong understanding of these important topics.
In Science, we’ll be exploring the fascinating world of plants. Students will learn to name and identify different types of plants, understand what plants need to grow, investigate seeds, and compare plants and trees. As part of our learning, we’ll also be discovering the work of Beatrix Potter.
In Art/ DT, we will be learning about food technology. We will be learning about where different foods come from, how we can make/ prepare a dish and the importance of healthy diets and food hygiene.
In Humanities, our topic is called ‘At the Seaside’ where students will be able to describe a seaside town in the UK and describe places and routes on a map.
