Year 1 2022 - 2023

Welcome to Year 1

You can find the KS1 blog here. It features stories and photos from our exciting learning journey together.

Mrs Sharman and Miss Bailey would like to welcome all the children back after a well-earned half term break.
This half term our topic is called Real Life Superheroes. What do you know about superheroes? Do you know any real life superheroes that have helped you? We will be
learning how to find out about real life superheroes from the recent past in our history lessons. Can you think of some ways we might find out about real life people? In Science, we will continue to observe the weather and seasons by visiting the secret garden. You can help your child by talking about what they notice about the changes in seasons. This half term Cool Chloe will help us to learn how to identify, classify and group food. Book Boy will help us to carry out research about why exercise is important for us and Brilliant Betty will help us to make comparisons. In DT the children will be learning how to design, sew and evaluate their very own miniature superhero coat!
