This Term's Topics

Acorn to Oak

Cumbria and the Coast

Welcome to the summer term! This term we will be exploring the rich and diverse history of Cumbria. We will look at famous Cumbrian people, such as William Wordsworth, and what made them so famous. We will continue to try using prefixes (-un e.g. kind=unkind) and suffixes (-ing, -er, -ed, and -est; walking, faster, helped, and biggest), while retelling information we have researched. In Science we will explore what plants needs to grow, find out the different parts of plants, trees and flowers, and learn that some trees are evergreen and some are deciduous.

Our PE sessions will take place each Tuesday and Friday - please send your child's PE kit in to be left in school so we can get them changed. On Tuesday we will have Carlisle United coaches delivering multi-skills and they will explore different skills including balance, coordination, and moving around a space. On Friday we will be focusing on net and wall, helping to build on the skills learnt earlier on in the week while introducing objects such as balls and rackets. 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.

Mr. Roughley - Monday - Friday
Mrs. Sephton - (STA) Full-Time
Mrs. S. Craig - Thursday afternoon
