Year 1
In English we will be focusing on an extract from the book Lost and Found by Oliver Jeffers. We will be looking at the journey in the book and how the author builds suspense within the story. We will continue our learning on capital letters, finger spaces, full stops and descriptive language.
In Maths we will be revisiting our work on 2D and 3D shapes before beginning to explore addition and subtraction. We will use different objects and strategies such as Numicon and number lines to help with this and begin to solve word problems.
In Science we will be researching different types of animals. We will be learning how to name common animal groups such as mammals, reptiles and amphibian to identify their common features.
This term in Humanities we will compare tools and technologies from the past and present, exploring how they have been modified to improve the work of police officers, nurses, and firefighters over time.
This term we will be learning about Islam. We will be finding out about their core beliefs, the holy book and their place of worship. This learning helps children develop respect for diversity and understand the world around them.
In PE this term we will be learning about gymnastics and dance. We will be using our imaginations to create a sequence of movements that we will perform to the class.
In Design Technology this term we will be designing and making a wheeled vehicle. Firstly, we will explore materials and then choose the most appropriate for our design. We will look at the purpose of an axle, how they can be put together and think about where it will be used.
