Welcome to Year 1

Summer Term in Year 1

The inspirational texts on our bookshelf will inspire our learning across the curriculum. 

During the Summer term in Year 1, we will read a variety of inspirational and carefully curated texts that explore the character traits of kindness, citizenship, integrity, curiosity, bravery and gratitude. We will start by exploring the book ‘Little Red Reading Hood’ to develop our narrative story retelling skills, using language of fairy tales. We will also use the wonderful text ‘Beegu’ as inspiration for our non-chronological reports.   

Our Science will focus on ‘Plants’ where we will be exploring the parts of a plant, plants in our local area and trees.  

Our Maths learning this term will focus on developing our understanding of mass and volume, multiplication and division, fractions, place value, money and time.  

In Geography we will learn about ‘Why settlements are where they are’ and the different environments that people live in, such as; polar regions and desert regions.

Children will have the opportunity to compete in different sporting events and we will spend time outside learning in forest school.
