Welcome back to the final term of Year One! We hope you all had an enjoyable and relaxing week off. We have lots of fun and exciting activities planned for this last half term.
In RE this term, Year 1 children will be learning about the Christian creation story. They will explore the key events in the story and practise retelling it using important vocabulary. As they learn, children will also discover that not all Christians interpret the story in the same way. Through comparing different versions of the creation story, pupils will begin to think about how Christians understand their role in caring for the world. They will also reflect on how and why many Christians choose to thank and praise God for the world around them. This unit supports pupils in developing their understanding of religious stories, beliefs, and values, while encouraging thoughtful discussions and connections to everyday life.
In English this term we will be focusing on fantasy stories looking at superheroes, poetry and instructions. The children will continue to work on their punctuation, vocabulary, and presentation. If there are any opportunities for the children to practise their writing at home this would be brilliant, and will also help with their creative imaginations!
In maths the children will be learning about time, multiplication, division, using number facts to add/subtract money and position and direction. We will also continue to work on our problem solving and reasoning skills. We will begin a new topic in science looking at the different seasons focusing on weather, clothes, special events and months in each season.

In history we will be learning all about Florence Nightingale and comparing nursing in the present day. As part of this topic we will be looking at how life has changed over the decades and comparing things such as nurses uniform, equipment, resources and hospitals. We will also look at how Britain has been influenced by the wider world.
We will continue to give homework every Thursday. Please support your child with completing these and handing them in on time (every Wednesday).
Thank you for your continued support.
