Year 1K 2019 - 2020

Miss Kyte

We have got an exciting half term planned in year 1! In RE we will be continuing our work on Judaism and exploring the similarities between us at Christians with this religion. We will then be moving onto the Christmas Story. We will explore the scripture that tell us all about the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ and dive deeper into what this means for us in our lives.

We will be discussing the importance of gifts and if gifts always are material based or if they can be spiritual.

In art we will be learning about Claude Monet and trying to replicate some of his famous paintings ourselves. In science we will be learning even more about the different seasons and investigating all the different types of weather we experience during each season. We are going to be learning all about Guy Fawkes and why we celebrate Bonfire Night in history.

In maths we are going to be working on addition and subtraction and our number bonds to 10. In English we will be practising basic sentence structure and starting to use a range of adjectives. We will also be looking at rhyming poems and reading Harvey Slumfenburger’s Christmas Present.

Please ensure your child has their book bags in school every day, along with their reading books and reading records. In Year 1 we have PE three times a week and it is extremely important the children have the correct kit.

The children will still receive a piece of homework on Friday which needs to be completed and returned to school by the following Thursday. Please support your child at home, however please ensure the majority of the work is your child’s own ideas and writing.
