Year 1

Croeso i flwyddyn 1!

Welcome to the Year 1 page!

We are very busy in Year 1. We have lots of fun learning through focused and play activities (bubbles and missions).

To keep up to date with what we are doing in class, simply click on the Twitter feed above or follow us  on @Plasmarlyear1

Our topic for this term is 'Through My Window'. In this topic we will be exploring our home, school and local area. We will be looking at mapping skills, landmarks and buildings, the community and the history of our school. 

In maths we will be focusing on place value, addition and subtraction, measuring length, height, weight and volume. We will also be focusing on problem solving and reasoning skills. 

In English, we will be continuing to practice writing using the cursive style of writing. We will continue to practice using captial letters, finger spaces and full stops correctly. We will be learning to extend our sentences using and, but, because and adding more detail into our writing.
