Term 6

Time is flying by and it wont be long until we say goodbye to our little Hedgehogs and Lions! :-(

However, we still have a lot of fun and learning to do.

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

Science

In Science this term we will finish off looking at the human body and animals before moving onto our last part of Green Plants. This will include looking at the differences between us and animals, looking at the different habitats that animals live in and what sort of vegetation is in each one.

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.

Some questions to thing about.....

What is a biome?

Why do we have different coloured eyes?

Which season is our favourite and why?

R.E.

Our key question is: What does the story of Channukah make us think about?

In this unit, we will be learning about the religion Judaism. We will find out about the symbols, celebrations and beliefs of the Jewish faith.

Art / Design Technology

Our Art and D.T. will include making crafts related to health eating, observational drawings and using water colour to paint castles. This term we will also look at our work and how we could improve.

PE

P.E. this term will be team games
P.E. days will be the same as the previous term

1D - Tuesday

1A - Thursday
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!

History

This term we will be looking at Castles. Where and why they were built, who lived in them and what was special about them?

We also have our school trip to Leeds Castle to look forward too! First hand experience learning - Yahoo!

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.
