Year 1KW 2024 - 2025

Welcome back! We have got lots of interesting and exciting things planned over the next few weeks in Year One.

In RE this term we will be looking at our new topic of ‘Who is Jewish and how do they live?’. This will involve us looking at artefacts special to Jewish people. We will learn about Jewish worldviews and ways of life. We will learn about texts from the Torah and their importance for Jewish people today. We will find out about the mezuzah and the Shema prayer and what they mean for Jewish people. We will find out about Shabbat and Chanukah, discussing why Jewish people mark these times.

We will be learning all about people and their communities in Geography and discovering new information about various cities and islands from around the world.

In Art we will be looking at the topic of ‘tackling textiles’ and will be developing skills such as weaving.

In Science we are going to be learning about humans and animals, comparing the similarities and differences and developing an understanding of our own body’s and our life cycle.

In English we will be reading traditional tales, funny poems, letters and learning to write instructions. This term we are going to be focusing on using adjectives and verbs in our writing to make our sentences more interesting.

We are going to continue building our knowledge of number in Maths, including place value, addition, subtraction and number sequences. We will also learn more about time and money and begin measuring lengths and weights.

Thank you for all your support!
