Spring has SPRUNG! Hooray! We hope you have all enjoyed the Easter break and are ready for some new learning and fun.

What will we be learning in Year 1 this term? Find out below

Science

In Science this term we will continue to look at the human body before moving onto Green Plants. This will include labelling the parts of a plant, finding out what plants need to grow and making comparisons between plants in our gardens with those in the rainforest.

We will continue to look at the weather and seasons during this and next term, thinking about the hours of sunshine and the amount of rainfall.

Do you know the purpose of a plants root?

Which month has the longest hours of sunlight?

Can you name any plants in your garden?

P.E. days will be the same as the previous term

1D - Tuesday

It is important that children have their P.E. kits in every day in the event of a workshop, and as the weather continues to be grim, that children have appropriate outdoor wear. 

Only shorts and t-shirt for inside......NO EARRINGS please!

Geography

This term we will be looking at the seas and oceans of the world before moving on to look at the rainforests.

Worries or concerns

A worry or concern is best addressed as soon as it occurs, so please let us know so we can try to sort it out before it becomes enormous! We can talk most days after school, or if more convenient we can make a phone call and talk to you on the phone. Just write a note to us and ask your child to pass it on, so that we can arrange a suitable time to talk things through. 

Any further questions please ask a member of the Year 1 team

Phonics screener 2018
