Y1- Learning about explorers from the past


We are learning so much in Year 1 about the ISS and what it would be like to live and work in space. All of the children are enjoying watching the videos of astronauts such as Tim Peake and Chris Hadfield. This week we will be learning about explorers from the past. The children will be comparing Christopher Columbus' mission with that of Neil Armstrong. 

In Maths we will be starting our measuring unit. For the next couple of weeks the children will be using non standard units such as bricks and unifix to measure length and height of different objects as well as using rulers and meter rulers. Hopefully you would have seen the months of the year home learning that was in all of the book bags last week. It was set to try and get the children thinking about what happens in each month. 

Reminder- It is Forest School again for Autumn and Winter, full wet weather gear needed please. 

We will be starting our new phonics scheme Read, WrIte Inc this week. More information about this will be coming home shortly.
