Year 1

We hope that you had a lovely half term and have recharged your batteries ready for a very busy half term up to Christmas.

This term our Literacy theme is based around the story "Lost and Found".  We shall be writing our own version of the story and writing a recount for our penguin party.  In Science we shall continue to investigate materials.  In Math's we will be focusing on addition and subtraction looking into family facts, we shall then move on to shapes.

In Geography we will continue to look at the different seasons and what changes take place as we move from Autumn into Winter.  We shall also be looking at the weather.  Our History topic will be learning about Victorian Toys.  As part of our learning we will be visiting Portland Basin to experience Victorian toys and games and a Victorian Christmas.

In Year 1 we have a bear called Albert who likes to go on adventures.  Albert will be sent home on a Friday to spend the weekend with one of our children and their family.  Please encourage your child to draw a picture of Albert and write a sentence about what he has been up to so that this can be shared with the class on Monday.
