WELCOME TO

YEAR 1

This half-term our topic is

Splendid Skies!

This topic builds on prior learning of the seasons and weather from Foundation 2’s topic of ‘Let’s Celebrate’.

It helps children observe, identify and measure features of weather, both the everyday and the extreme.

It aims to develop the children’s understanding of the environment and how our life choices impact our wider world.

We will be …looking at the book 'Seasons'

where we will be writing daily sentences using the program 'The Write Stuff' to help us add detail and use a range of vocabulary to support our writing within English.
