Welcome to Year 1!
Spring 1:
We have been very busy so far this term!
Here are some highlights of our curriculum this half term:
English: We are reading 'Where the Wild Things Are' and learning about non-chronological reports. We will be creating our own non-chronological report all about a wild thing! We will also be creating stories, imagining we are on our own adventure just like Max!
Maths: We will be exploring numbers between 6 and 10 and using the model '5 and a bit' to help us subitize the numbers.
Science: Materials - Learning about the different types of materials and which are recyclable.
Geography: Homes and the different types of houses in Portsmouth.
DT: Healthy eating and cooking.
Spanish: En la selva (in the jungle).
