We hope you all had a wonderful break and are feeling refreshed for the new term ahead.

This page is designed to provide you with key information about our learning this half term, helping to ensure a successful and enjoyable experience for all pupils.

In English, we will continue to build our reading and writing skills through our Read Write Inc. programme, alongside reading Big Dreams Treasury to learn about inspirational people from around the world and the dreams they achieved.

In Mathematics, our focus will be on Geometry, Place value to 100, money and time, developing both understanding and confidence with these key concepts.

In Science, we will be learning about Materials and investigating their properties.

Our RE topic is Buddhism. Year 1 are discovering the story of Buddha and learning about kindness, respect, and mindfulness in Buddhism.

In PSHE, we are learning about living in the wider world and how we can be responsible members of our community.

Both Squirrels Class and Frogs Class will have PE on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so please ensure children come to school in appropriate kit on these days.
