Welcome to Year 1!
Welcome to our Year 1 page. We will share information on here, about your child's learning and time in Year 1 as well as posting regularly on our Class Dojo page.
There is a copy of our curriculum overview below, so you can see what learning will be taking place throughout the year. If you want to find out about specific curriculum areas, for example: 'Science' or 'Music' look at the 'Curriculum' section of the website.
We have a list of 50 recommended reads for Year 1, which are wonderful books for you to share at home. Please mark them off, on the booklet you have been given, when your child has read them and encourage your child to swap them so that you get to read all 50 together!
Here is some practical information for you:
Here is some information about our Year 1 curriculum:
Autumn 1
This half term we are learning about ourselves, the parts of our body and the five senses. We taste foods, observe closely with our eyes, use our sense of smell and describe the feel different objects as a way to explore how our senses help us to learn about the world around us.
We begin to learn how to work scientifically and carry out investigations.
We compare the similarities and differences between humans and other animals by finding out what makes us mammals. We begin to find out about animal classification.
To help us understand where food comes from, we explore if it is from an animal or a plant. We plant some vegetables in the school garden and we look after them throughout the year until they harvest.
We then make a healthy snack (from fruit and vegetables) using our cutting and squeezing skills. We make fruit kebabs - and then eat them!
Our focus book for Autumn 1 is The Bog Baby.
