Welcome to Sparrows 1!

Welcome back to school! We hope you had a lovely Christmas holiday! We are looking forward to having a brilliant spring term.   For this half-term, our topic is 'hot and cold places'. Our focus topics are Geography and Art. In Geography, we will be looking at how the world is different in terms of its climates and weather in different continents and countries.  In Art, we will be exploring sculptures in art, learning how to shape, carve and create a sculpture using the inspiration of Brandan Jamison. 

In English, we use a narrative to help us with our learning.  The story we are using is Lost and Found. The children will be exploring and innovating the narrative to develop their own version of the story.  They will then be using the story as inspiration to create their own non-fiction text, based on different animals around the world. 

In year 1, all of our children access Read Write Inc., meaning children will have the opportunity to read and develop their spelling on a daily basis.  In the classroom, we have a wide range of literature that children can access in the reading corner.  The books we provide are diverse and set an appropriate level for our year 1 children to enjoy. 

PE is on a Tuesday and a Wednesday every week.  The children need to make sure they have their PE Kit in school every day. For this half-term, the children will be developing the fundamental movement skill of overarm throwing, developing and applying the skill in different situations.  

For more information, look at our overview for Autumn 1.
