Welcome to the Year 1 class page!

Summer 1 2024

Welcome back! We hope you had a lovely Easter.

This half term our history topic is 'Extraordinary Explorers'. We will be learning about the exploration and impact of Christopher Columbus, Percy Fawcett, Neil Armstrong and the Space Race. We will also think about how exploration has changed and developed.   

We will also be:

• reading stories with predictable phrases and writing a non-chronological report about Neil Armstrong in English
• learning about and growing plants in science
• exploring the question 'Why is the Torah such a joy for the Jewish community?' in RE
• learning about Andy Warhol and the Pop Art movement, developing our printing skills further to create our own Pop Art piece
• learning about coding in computing lessons
• learning early multiplication and divisions skills in maths

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

• Our Library slot is on a Thursday afternoon

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

• A pair of trainers and wellies should be kept in school every day for play time

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

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