Y1 Curriculum
Welcome to Y1’s class pages!
Our Year 1 team are so excited to start the year and welcome our children back into school. Your teachers are: Mrs Waheed, Miss Heaton (Y1 Mulberry) and Miss Picton (Y1 Holly).
Summer 1:
Our key subject driver will be geography, where we will be learning about the United Kingdom, its countries and capital cities.
We will also complete a week of music at the start of the half term. We will explore rhythm and pitch whilst mastering the use of glockenspiels.
We will be starting a new unit of our science learning, looking at everyday materials. We will be working scientific and carrying out a range of experiments.
In our non-intensive teaching, we will revisit previously taught learning across the curriculum.
We will be sending home knowledge organisers for geography and science , which can be used at home. If you would like to see what other subjects we will be covering, or look back at the year, please visit our curriculum pages.
