The topic in reception for this term is 'this is me'. The children will be learning about what makes them the same and different to their classmates. They will share information about their families and their favourite things.
Year 1 Topic
Our topic this term is ‘explorers'. In the first half term, the focus will be on the countries of the Arctic. The children will learn about each of the countries, the animals and people that live there and the weather. Then. in the second half term, the focus moves to pirates. The children will learn what life aboard a pirate ship is like. They will have an opportunity to dress as a pirate on the WOW day and create a healthy fruit salad for the pirates to enjoy.
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.
