Year 1 - Squirrel

Welcome to Year 1 - Squirrel

Year 1 is the start of Key Stage 1. There are an enormous amount of changes that children have to adapt to from Reception class. For the Autumn first half term, there is a period of transition where teaching allows children to adapt to their new surroundings. In Year 1, children will be encouraged to become more independent learners and sustain concentration to complete set tasks.

​

During Year 1 children will cover a Science and Geography based topic allowing them to , compare and contrast the local area and Africa ( looking at animals, plants and places) . In History, they will look at important events and personalities in British history. RE sees them finding out about special places of worship, developing a sense of belonging and looking at a selection of religious stories.
