Hello everyone,
The children have worked
incredibly hard this half term and have settled into their new Year 1 classroom
and routines so well. We are very proud of how enthusiastically they have
embraced their learning and how much progress they have made. Well done, Year
1!
I’m sorry that I had to
cancel our parent consultations this week. I look forward to meeting with you
all on Wednesday 4th November and having the opportunity to discuss how your
children are settling into Year 1.
Please see below for an
overview of the topics we will be exploring next half term.
English – Next week, we’ll
be diving into the wonderful story Cave Baby by Julia Donaldson! We’ll begin by
reading and discussing the story together, thinking about the characters, the
setting and the amazing animals Cave Baby sees along the way. The children will
also have the opportunity to tell stories and describe incidents from their own
experiences. They will be writing labels for the animals from the story and
using adjectives to describe them.
Maths – The children will be
exploring subtraction within 10 and place value within 20.
Science – Our topic will be
‘Uses of Everyday Materials’.
Geography – We will be
exploring the topic ‘What is it like here?’
RE – The children will be
learning about the religion of Islam, as well as exploring the Hindu festival
of Diwali and the Christmas story.
Design & Technology –
Our topic will be ‘Eat More Fruit and Vegetables’.
Computing – We will be
exploring ‘Computing Systems and Technology Around Us’.
PSHE – The children will be
learning about ‘Helping Myself and Others Feel Happy and Safe’.
Have a wonderful half term,
and I look forward to seeing you all on Monday 2nd November.
Mrs Flatley
