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 follow us on @Plasmarlyear1
Our topic for this term is 'Same but Different'. In this topic we will be looking at similarities and differences between ourselves and our friends and celebrating these differences. We will be reading many empathy books around this topic.
In Maths we will be focusing on place value with numbers up to 20, having a greater and deeper understanding of numbers. We will also be focusing on problem solving and reasoning skills.
In English, we will be practicing letter formation using the cursive style. We will be focusing on using captial letters and full stops in our sentences. We will look closely at character description which will link in with our theme.
