We are so excited for the year ahead and sharing new and fantastic topics with your child.  Some highlights will include the following: 

• In History our topic is called Changes around us and we begin our autumn term looking at how we have changed sine we were a baby. We will start to explore how our town has changed by comparing the old and new town.

• In Design and Technology, the children will have an opportunity to make their own home using junk modelling; they will use paint and different types of materials to make their windows, door and roof.  

• Throughout the year, the children will have an opportunity to explore our wonderful school grounds and observe seasonal changes in our weather.  

• In the spring term, the children will enjoy a magical journey back in time and dress up as a child in the Victorian period. They will spend a day exploring artefacts and learning how to write with a chalk.

• In the summer term, the children will enjoy a fantastic trip to Boxmoor Trust. Here they will explore the different variety of plants and trees, which links to our science learning. The children will also get to consider the types of weather plants and trees require to sustain healthy growth. ​

​

In Year 1, we use Class Dojo as way of connecting with parents and caregivers by posting on our story page, so please keep an eye out for these updates and photographs of your child’s wonderful learning. Please use the links on this page to find out more information about Year 1 or contact one of us at school.  We can’t wait for the year ahead!
