Year 1K 2020 - 2021

Welcome back to the final term of Year One!

We hope you all had an enjoyable and relaxing week off. We have lots of fun and exciting activities planned for this last half term.

Our topic in RE is ‘My world Jesus world,’ where the children will be exploring what life was like when Jesus – God the Son was alive on earth. We will learn about the human nature and experience of Jesus as he lived in the world at that time. The children will be looking at questions such as, what style of clothes did Jesus wear? What toys did he have? Did Jesus have a mobile phone? If you could travel back in time to Jesus’ world, what would you like to see? This topic will allow children to discover how the world has changed.

In English this term we will be focusing on fantasy stories looking at superheroes, poetry and instructions. The children will continue to work on their punctuation, vocabulary, and presentation. If there are any opportunities for the children to practise their writing at home this would be brilliant, and will also help with their creative imaginations!

In maths the children will be learning about time, multiplication, division, using number facts to add/subtract money and position and direction. We will also continue to work on our problem solving and reasoning skills.

We will begin a new topic in science looking at the different seasons focusing on weather, clothes, special events and months in each season. We also have a very exciting job as we are growing our own carrots and lettuce in our allotment. This will follow on from our plant topic last term.

In history we will be learning all about Florence Nightingale and how Florence Nightingale views nursing today. As part of this topic we will be looking at how life has changed over the decades and comparing things such as nurses uniform, equipment, resources and hospitals. We will also look at how Britain has been influenced by the wider world.

P.E. kits need to be in school every day and it is vital that your child has the correct PE uniform. We would also like to remind everybody that reading books and book bags need to be in school every day.

If you have any questions or queries, please do not hesitate to ask a member of the Year One team.

Thank you. :)
