Year 1KW 2025 - 2026

We have got an exciting half term planned in Year 1!

In RE we will be learning about key events in the Christmas story! Children will discover how Christmas is celebrated today and begin to consider which traditions are secular and which are religious. This topic has a big focus on religious artwork and why this helps Christians today to celebrate key events.

In history we are going to be learning all about life in the past and discover how lots of objects and possessions were different for our grandparents. In DT we will be looking at moving picture books and creating a variety of moving pictures. In science we will be continuing our learning on materials and carrying out lots of exciting experiments. We will also be going on a fantastic trip to Legoland on Wednesday 19^th November to support our science topic.

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.

During this half term we will continue to focus on developing the pupil’s phonics knowledge. Please ensure you read with your child at home and complete all phonics activities and homework sent out during the term.

This term leads up to Christmas and all the exciting events. Please keep looking the School website for information and dates for your diary.

We look forward to another great half term with Year 1.
