Reception Topic
The topic in reception for this term is 'wet & wild'. The children will be learning about rivers & ponds and the plants and animals which live in or near them. They will learn the appropriate vocabulary to match the topic and study animal lifecycles. The children will also discuss healthy and unhealthy foods, talk about seasonal changes and how clothing has changed over time.
Year 1 Topic
Our topic this term is ‘all around the world'. In the first half term, the focus will be on the countries of the United Kingdom, their capital cities and national flowers & symbols. Then. in the second half term, the focus moves to countries on the different continents of the world. The children will use their physical and human geography skills across both half terms.
Homework for year 1 children will be sent home on a Friday. It is extremely important that the children try their best to complete the work independently. The work will be related to the English or maths that they are currently learning in class. It needs to be returned to school by the following Wednesday.
