• Year 1 Home Learning

Thankyou for all your support with home learning.

As  last half term was so short, we will be continuing with our 'Hot, Hot, Hot' theme for a couple of weeks before changing topics. We are looking at stories about a girl from Kenya called Handa written by the author Eileen Browne. We will be having a particular look at Handa's Hen and trying to write our own stories based on this one. We will also be finishing off our puppets for our DT project.

Our topic then changes to 'In the Garden'. We will be reading different versions of Jack and the Beanstalk and writing our own stories. We will also be covering some history by looking at what Jack's house might have looked like a long time ago. In Art we will be learning how to do paper sculpting and creating our own gardens using some of these techniques. In Science we will be continuing to learning about plant life and what seeds need to grow. PSHE is carried through our SCARF activities.

To enhance our curriculum we have been really enjoying doing JOYTIME on Friday afternoons which includes a whole variety of fun things associated with a different area of the curriculum each week.

Our PE day will be Thursdays and will be taught by Neil and Peter from PDS. Please come in your PE kit.
