Welcome to Year 1. Our class teacher is Miss Rock and our support staff are Mrs Hailes and Mrs Begum.

Spring Term

Our key texts this term are:

As writers, we are writing to entertain and inform by exploring the language and organisational features of different genres such as poetry, stories with familiar settings and recounts from personal experiences. 

As mathematicians, we are exploring place value within 50 where we are learning to partition into tens and ones. We are learning to measure the length of objects and measure and compare mass and capacity. 

As scientists, we are exploring what materials are and their properties through a range of experiments and revisiting our learning of Animals Including Humans. We are focusing on on the features of different species, what food tells us about certain animals and what makes them an animal and what does not.

As theologists, we are exploring the Jewish religion and how they live.
