This Term's Topics
Marvelous Materials Our Changing World
Welcome to the spring term! This term we will be making a journey across the world and even into space to discover how marvelous different materials really are. We will look at Lego and who invented it, as well as its properties and why it is such an incredible toy! We will retell stories that we have watched and explore using prefixes (-un e.g. kind=unkind) and suffixes (-ing, -er, -ed, and -est; walking, faster, helped, and biggest), use our imagination to construct our own stories, as well as learning how to use a question mark. For science we will focus on making predictions while looking at solids and liquids.
Our PE sessions will take place each Wednesday and Friday - please send your child's PE kit in to be left in school so we can get them changed. On Wednesday we will have yoga who will develop a wide range of gross and fine motor skills, as well as balance and coordination. On Friday we will be focusing on gymnastics, helping to build on the skills learnt earlier on in the week. Forest School will take place every other Friday, with classes alternating each week, and a timetable for this has been sent out. It will also available in the useful documents section below.
Children will be awarded house points in class for the various subject areas if we fell they have either achieved something really well, put in a lot of effort, worked well together as a team or persevered when the task is difficult. If you would like any more information about house points, please see a member of the year 1 team.

Class 5 Home Learning
A homework grid will be uploaded at the beginning of every term. This consists of a reading, writing and maths task and some optional extras in the grid below. Homework can be sent or emailed to the address below. We are also delighted to see any other learning the children do that isn't on the homework grid, such as learning animal or tree names while out on a walk or in the park, or any other topic areas they are interested in.
