Mr Butler, Mrs Barker, Mrs Armitage and Miss Denby would like to welcome you to Year 1. 

Next half term our theme is called ‘To infinity and beyond’. This theme focuses on space and historical links. The children will learn about Neil Armstrong and his experiences of landing on the moon. We will read stories about Aliens to enable us to write our own versions. There will be a very exciting event of an alien crash landing which will begin our theme. We will have a stand alone week celebrating bonfire night and learning about Guy Fawkes.

In Literacy our writing will focus on character descriptions, poetry and story writing. We will continue to work hard to use capital letters, full stops and finger spaces. To make our writing more interesting we will be learning to use adjectives.

In Mathematics we will be introducing Friday maths challenges which will help to develop our arithmetic skills. We will be introducing money, measurements and time as well as building upon our previous number skills.

In Theme we will have lots of opportunities to create Alien themed artwork using a variety of different media. This will include designing and making underpants, as well as making clay aliens. Children will develop their cooking skills by spreading and mixing ingredients to make alien buns/biscuits.

Mr Butler
