Be the best you can be
Hello and welcome to the Year 1 class page!
Year 1 is an exciting year for children; a bridge between Early Years teaching and the more formal teaching of Key Stage One and Two. Children thrive during this year and further their independent learning skills and as a teacher it is wonderful to see them flourish. Over the year, we will be exploring ideas, discovering different ways to learn and enjoying a variety of fantastic and new experiences. We will endeavour to instil a love of learning in each and every one of the pupils, inspire children’s imaginations whilst creating a positive learning environment where pupils can be the best they can be.
This half term, in English, we are using lots of different books based around space such as ‘Space Poems’, ‘Man on the Moon’, ‘Aliens love Underpants’ and ‘Little People Big Dreams: Neil Armstrong’. In Maths, we will be focusing on addition and subtraction within 10 before moving on to geometry.
Our History topic is ‘What does it take to be a great explorer?’ where we will be exploring what an explorer does both in the past and in modern times. We will be looking at Ranulph Fiennes, Amy Johnston, Christopher Columbus and Neil Armstrong. In Science our topic is ‘Animals including Humans’ where we will identify, name, draw and label animals. We will classify animals and look at their habitats.
We will also take part in our wonderful Music lessons with Mrs Higson on a Friday and heart pumping PE sessions with Coach Jasmine on a Monday.
