Spring 1

Hello everyone!

We’re excited to share what our wonderful Year 1 children will be learning this term. It’s going to be a fun and busy few weeks filled with creativity, curiosity, and lots of new discoveries! In your class to support your learning we have Miss Brennan (Class Teacher) and Miss Fisher and Miss Hussain (Teaching Assistant)

🧮 Maths
We'll be exploring using positional language to begin with. The we will build on our previous work on numbers to 10 and this term be looking at numbers to 20. Towards the end of the term we will look at addition and subtraction within 20.

📚 English
We will be looking at the story of The Tiger Who Came to Tea. Children will be encouraged to write their own sentences using capital letters, finger spaces, and full stops. At the beginning of this term we have had a tea party, and there was a sneaky surprise visitor who ate all of our food and drank all our drinks! Make sure to keep an eye out around Spring Hill for a full- looking tiger!

🎨 Art
We are looking at how we can use colour and lines to make objects come to life. We are focusing on the artist Vincent Van Gogh.

🧪 Science –
Children will be looking at materials this term and how they are different.

🧘 PSHE & Wellbeing
We’ll continue to build friendships, learn about kindness, and talk about our feelings. Circle time will help us share and support each other. In our My Happy Mind sessions we are focusing on the theme of 'Celebrate.'
