Y1 Friday 20th December 2024– Looking Back & Forth
Looking back:
We have had a great final week of our first term together in Year 1- everyone has worked really hard this term!
We enjoyed performing in our Nativity and we hope you loved it as much as we did!
We have enjoyed watching the Grinch film with the whole school and our third marble jar treat - it was wonderful to see the children having such a fun time!
We have named, identified and sorted 2D and 3D shapes.
In D&T we have continued our quilling project and completed our Christmas themed moving cards.
Year 1 – Pupils’ Highlights:
√ Performing in our Nativity.

Family discussion questions:
- What adjectives would you use to describe Father Christmas?
- What human and physical features have you spotted whilst you have been walking/travelling in your car?
- How far can you count when counting forwards? Can you count backwards from the same number?
Looking forward:
Next half term we will be looking at the story of ‘Major Glad, Major Dizzy’.
In Maths we will be looking at place value before moving onto addition and subtraction of bigger numbers.
In History we will look at toys from the past and compare them to the present and exploring ‘Polar Places’ in Science.
