To infinity and beyond! 

This term in Year 1, our topic is Space. In English, we will be reading lots of exciting, out-of-this-world adventure stories. We will also be linking our History learning to space by finding out about significant people from the past like Neil Armstrong and Mae Jemison. In Science, we are applying our materials knowledge from last term to help us decide which would be the best materials to build our own spaceship!

The children will apply this learning in their writing while continuing to practise using capital letters, full stops and finger spaces. We will also be developing new skills, such as expanding our sentences by using ‘and’.

In Maths, we are continuing to work on our number skills, including addition, subtraction, measure and shape. You can support your child at home by regularly practising number formation. If you would like some ideas for fun activities to try at home, please speak to a member of the Year 1 team — we are always happy to help!
