Welcome to the Year 1 class page!

Spring 1 2025

Welcome back! We hope you had a wonderful Christmas.

This half term our Geography topic is 'The United Kingdom'. We will learn about the four countries of the UK; their capital cities; their physical and human features; and the seas surrounding the UK. We will then compare the features of our local area to those you find at the coast as part of our seaside WOW day. 

We will also be:

• reading and writing stories with predictable phrases, writing reports about animals and exploring poetry in English 
• making 10 and some more; exploring shape; measuring weight and length; and sequencing the days of the week and months of the year in maths
• learning about animals in science
• exploring the question 'Who is Jewish and what do they believe?' in RE
• learning about line, shape and texture art and creating a piece in the style of Mondrian using the bird's eye view of the school as inspiration

Don't forget that:

• PE is on Wednesday mornings and Friday afternoons this half term - please ensure your child's PE kit is always in school (including socks)

• Our Library slot is on a Thursday afternoon

• Homework is set on a Thursday and is due in on a Tuesday

• We will change the Collins Little Wandle reading books on a Thursday

• A pair of trainers, wellies and a waterproof coat should be kept in school every day for play time and outdoor learning

• A coat should be worn unless the weather is warm and dry

• All uniform must be labelled with your child's name
