Term 1
Welcome to Year 1 and Year 2!
We hope you all had a wonderful summer and are looking forward to the exciting year ahead.
During the first few weeks of term, our main focus will be getting to know the children, building positive relationships, and establishing our classroom routines and expectations. We will begin teaching our curriculum content from Week 3.
This term, our topic is ‘Into the Woods’, a science-based unit exploring different habitats, with a particular focus on minibeasts. The children will learn about a variety of habitats and microhabitats, discovering how these environments provide everything living things need to survive and thrive. We are hoping for some lovely autumn weather so that we can explore these habitats together in our local environment.
In English, we will be reading the wonderful picture book ‘The Fox’. This beautiful story links closely to our science topic while also encouraging the children to think about the importance of teamwork and effective collaboration. We will begin the term with descriptive writing and storytelling activities inspired by the book.
In Art, we will be develop our drawing skills. We are looking forward to showcasing the children’s artwork during the Bristol Arts Trail later in the term.
