Welcome to Year 1!
We are very excited for the year ahead and have lots of wonderful learning planned for the children in Year 1.
This half-term in English, we will be reading Beegu and The Owl and the Pussy-cat. The children will use these texts to develop their speaking, reading and writing skills.
In Maths, we will begin by developing a secure understanding of numbers to 10 before moving on to addition and subtraction within 10. Daily Phonics and reading practice will also be an important part of our learning, helping the children to grow in confidence as readers and writers.
Our History topic is Toys, where the children will explore toys from the past and present and begin to think about how they have changed over time. In Art, we will develop our drawing and sketching skills through an artist study.
In Computing, the children will practise using a keyboard and mouse, create digital artwork using Paint and learn about staying safe online. We are also looking forward to visiting the Camden Learning Centre.
In RE, we will explore the question: What responsibility has God given people for taking care of the world? In PSHE, we will learn about the importance of sleep, explore different feelings and discuss ways we can help ourselves and others to feel positive.
Our PE focus will be dance, giving the children opportunities to explore movement and express themselves creatively. In Music, the children will begin to explore musical notation and how different symbols can represent sounds.
