Starlings 2021 - 2022

AUTUMN 2021

WELCOME TO YEAR ONE - STARLINGS

Look what we learn about in Year 1:

Autumn Term

We are delighted to welcome the children back and are looking forward to a fantastic and fun-filled year together.

In September we will begin our 'World explorers'  topic. We will be learning about old Northwich and what has changed and also finding out about which inventions have helped us explore places further away.

This fits beautifully with our ‘Belonging’ unit of work in RE where we learn about the community and Christian worship, and our Geography work where we will find out all about where in the UK Lostock Gralam is.

English

Our class text for this half term is 'The Lion Inside'  by Rachel Bright and Jim Field.  This inspiring story shows we all have a lion inside of us! It also has a wonderful message woven into it reminding us to be true to ourselves and that even big people can have a bad day!

Maths

In Maths we will be completing lots of challenges with a focus on adding and subtracting numbers 1-20.

In History, we will be exploring different transport inventions which link with our geography objectives in regard to how these changes have helped us to travel further.

We have lots of lovely creative tasks planned and there will be dedicated time for mindfulness, calming activities, sports and outdoor learning too.

Please note that PE for your child will be on a Wednesday and Friday this term so your child should come to school dressed in their PE kit.

We are really looking forward to yet another fabulous term

 If you ever have any questions or concerns, then we are always here to help.
