Year 1 begins the children's journey into Key Stage One. We make this transition from Reception (EYFS) into Year 1 and the next stage in your child's learning easier by supporting them with lots of hands on learning through our inspiring and creative curriculum.
In Fox Class we learn in a variety of ways, with a mixture of formal, practical and play based learning. Children take part in whole class, group and independent activities throughout the day.
We provide a safe and happy environment where pupils and teachers work together, share ideas and experiences and encourage one another to be the best that they can be!
PE
Our PE days are Tuesday and Thursday. Please ensure your child comes dressed in their PE kit on these days. Thank you! J
Homework
Homework is set at the beginning of each term and there are 9 activities to choose from: 3 English, 3 Maths and 3 topic linked tasks. Each week please choose one activity to complete. Homework books are collected in on a Monday and returned on a Wednesday.
We have so many fun and exciting activities planned for Foxes this year, with our new and inspiring topics!
Term One
Wonderful Me!
Throughout the term we will keep referring back to our BIG Question.
Our BIG Question this term: Why are Florence Nightingale and Mary Seacole still remembered today?
As Historians, this term we will be learning about our key inspirational figures: Mary Seacole and Florence Nightingales. We will learn about hospitals ‘Now’ and ‘Then’. Our Art lessons will also follow the work of an inspirational woman: ‘Frida Kahlo’ and we will learn about adding tone and shade to sketches and create our own self-portraits!
English
We will begin by looking at the Traditional Tale: ‘The Gingerbread Man’. We will then explore the text ‘Bog Baby’ by Jeanne Willis and create instructions/labels and captions.
Maths
We begin by focusing on Place Value within 10 and then addition and subtraction within 10. We will do lots of practical activities to consolidate and expand our knowledge!
In RE we will exploring ‘Easter’ and asking questions to find out why it is so important to Christians (the whole year around!).
Our Geography learning will focus on maps and our local area. In Computing we will be thinking of using direction to navigate ourselves and explore coding to do this!
In PSHE we will reflect on ourselves, thinking of ourselves as part of the school, our families and our similarities and differences to each other. We will also learn about keeping our minds and bodies healthy and happy!
In Science we will also be learning about our bodies. We will name the key body parts and learn about our senses.
‘Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes’ also features in our music curriculum this term! We are excited to explore a range of musical activities.
As a school we share the same values:
LOVE KINDNESS HONESTY FORGIVENESS PERSEVERANCE RESPECT
Our value this term is Love
We are looking forward to a fantastic year of learning lots of new things, making friends and having fun! We will be sharing with you all the lovely things that happen in our Year 1 class so please keep visiting our website, ClassDojo and Twitter page throughout the year to find out what we are enjoying learning about.
