Welcome back! We are looking forward to another busy and exciting term in Year 1.

Enquiry

Our enquiry this term is ‘What is my hat made of?’ We will have a visitor from Bristol Old Vic theatre coming in to show us some stage costume hats. We are going to be exploring many different types of hats as well designing and making our own. As Scientists we be learning about the properties of different materials and as Engineers we will learn how to construct our hats so that they are strong and stable. We look forward to showing our hats off to our families in the Fashion Show on March 20^th at 9.05 am.

Later in the term we will be learning about Spring time. We will be learning about what happens in nature during spring time and closely observing natural changes around us.

Authors

We will be reading Hamilton’s Hats in English and as authors we will be inventing and writing about our own characters. We will also be writing evaluations of the hats that we make in Enquiry. We will continue to focus on writing sentences that have finger spaces, full stops and capital letters and applying the new GPCs we are learning in phonics. 

Mathematicians

We will be busy learning about addition and subtraction in Maths. We will be learning addition and subtraction facts within 10 and using these to solve missing number problems.  We will also be recalling the number bonds we know to help us solve addition and subtraction problems.

Athletes

In PE we will be continuing with a mixture dance and Real PE lessons. Venus class will do PE on Monday and Thursday and Neptune class on Monday and Friday (unless your child is at Forest School).
