This term in Year 1

We are looking forward to an exciting new term with lots of exciting new learning. 

Year 1 will be reading the story of 'Peter Rabbit' by Beatrix Potter and 'Look Up' by Nathan Bryan. The children will also be learning how to write a recount and an informal letter.

In maths they will begin with place value to 20 and learning all about the value of 2-digit numbers. Science will be based around animals, their similarities and differences, their habitats and we will also look at the senses. 

In history the children will continue to look at changes within living memory relating to the local area, it's houses and shops. Geography will be based upon comparing hot and cold countries. 

The children will be making vehicles in art with moving wheels and axels then, testing them on the playground. This will also be linked  to DT lessons.
