YEAR ONE

Curriculum

Spring Term English:

We will be continuing to work on our sentences, making sure we have put capital letters and full stops in them. We will also be checking for finger spaces and correctly formed letters. As well as this, we will be adding adjectives to our sentences to make them more interesting and using and to make our sentences longer. We will also be using our knowledge of phonics to help with spellings and spelling common words independently. Non– Fiction will be linked to towns, local area, houses and homes and our main story will be Grandad’s Island by Benji Davies.

Spring Term Maths:

In maths we will be practising basic skills and also learning about place value (within 50), addition and subtraction (within 20) and measuring length, height, mass and volume.

Spring Term Science:

We will be learning about plants and how to grow them as well as studying different types of trees. We will also be looking for signs of Winter and then Spring.

Spring Term Geography/History:

Our Geography study this term is based around the theme of ‘Nutty about Nantwich’. We will be learning all about the amazing places our town has to offer such as, the parks, swimming pool, river, St Mary’s church and all the shops in town. We will also be looking back in time to what Nantwich was like in the past and revisiting our work on The Great Fire of Nantwich in 1583.
