Year 1

Year 1 have got quite a surprise this morning when a lost Knight wandered into our classrooms. He doesn't know where he is or why he is here. Can we help him? Hopefully our class text 'The Very last Castle' and our history topic should help us to discover where he is from. We will go back in time and find out about some famous monarchs from the past as well as exploring what it was like to live in a castle- we will hopefully get to visit a castle for real and find a home for the lost knight.

Year 1 are travelling to another continent to discover where Sunny the Meerkat has been on his travels. We will read all the post cards he sends home as we find the places on the map and find out about the animals that live in these continents. We are lucky to be having a visit from 'Corner Exotics' where we will be able to get hands on with a range of wonderful creatures from all around the world such as snakes, spiders, frogs and hedgehogs.

Year 1 are going to have to become investigators this term and discover who a little lost toy belongs to. Through exploring the loved story 'Dogger' we will find the answers and develop our reading and writing skills as we do so. We will learn to use adjectives in our writing as we describe the lost toy and other toys we may have and will explore positional language when we look at where Mum looks for Dave's missing toy. Let's hope we find the owners very soon and can celebrate with our own toys!

Year 1 have arrived in their new classes to find there has been a terrible storm and Percy the Park keeper needs their help to work out where the animals live, how he can rebuild their homes and how they can work as a team to create new homes. The class text will help the children to explore how the woodland creatures come together to make a bad situation so much better.
