We are really excited to get going with our new Year Ones and have lots of very exciting learning opportunities planned!

Into The Forest

In Year One our topics are delivered through quality rich texts that inpsire the children's curiosity and enquiry skills. 

We will start with the traditional tale Hansel and Gretel and in the first 2 weeks we will enjoy decorating our role play cottages with all sorts of edible delights.

A main focus for this half term will be developing our geography and science skills, including learning about plant growth, seasons, mapping skills and physical features of our local environment. We will walk down to the woods in Duke's Drive.

Our main focus in mnaths this half term is counting forwards and backwards from 0 or any given number. The children will also be learning to identify one more and one less than a given number and use the language more than, less than, equal to, most and least. We will use the addition sign (+), subratction sign (-) and equals sign (=) when solving simple maths problems. We will then move on to learning to recognise and name simple 2D and 3D shapes.
