This half term, Year 1 is buzzing with excitement as we begin our new topic all about animals, minibeasts and wildlife!

In Science, we will be learning what makes an animal and how animals are grouped based on their characteristics and diet. We have already started exploring important new vocabulary such as amphibian, mammal, reptile, bird and insect. 

We are also very excited about our upcoming trip to Winchester Science Centre, where the children will take part in a specialist minibeast workshop!

In English, our learning will focus on texts about deadly animals and insects. We will be enjoying stories such as The Lion Inside, Bothered by Bugs, and exploring some wonderful animal poetry and non-fiction texts. We look forward to sharing more of this learning with you when you visit to look at the children’s books during Families Evening.

In Maths, we will continue to build confidence and fluency in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division in real-life context of measure and money.

We are sure it will bee a great half term!
