Welcome to year 1!

This half term we will be exploring our school’s natural environment in science. We will learn how to identify and name a variety of common wild and garden plants, including deciduous and evergreen trees. We will also identify and describe the basic structure of a variety of common flowering plants, including trees. This will involve lots of outdoor learning, please ensure your child has an appropriate coat with them for all weathers.

In history we will be learning about Neil Armstrong and the first moon landing. We will also be discussing how Neil Armstrong changed history and is a significant individual. This has inspired our English writing in which we will be writing letters to Neil Armstrong based upon the information we have collected from the popular children’s book ‘On the Moon!’ We will also be writing a re-tell of the story ‘The Way Back Home’ by Oliver Jeffers focusing on speech and punctuation.

In PE, we will be practising athletics. We will focus on how to start a race in a starting position, how to pass a relay baton and to complete other activities in preparation for our Sports Day in the second summer term. P.E will take place on a Monday this half term, therefore please ensure P.E kits are in school on these days
