Spring 2 – Year 1
Below is an outline of the work to be covered over the next half term (Spring 2 - 2020) Year 1
Subject |
Topics |
English |
This half term we will be reading “The owl who was afraid of the dark” for the first three weeks. We will be working towards writing our own story about overcoming a fear. We will then move on to writing a recount. Children will work on: applying the handwriting from handwriting lessons into their work; using “and” to add detail to sentences and to join sentences; punctuating with capital letters, full stops, question marks and exclamation marks; use spellings that we have learnt and use phonics to sound out words and retelling in order. Phonics – we will teach a 20 minute phonic lesson daily. Children are split into groups for this, depending on which phase they need to focus on. It is important that children think about breaking down words when writing to help them with their spellings. Children should read as much as possible at home with lots of talk about what they are reading to assist their comprehension. |
Maths |
In Maths we will be first be looking at measuring length, height, mass, volume and capacity. This will involve measuring using non-standard units and measuring in centimetres. It will also involve comparing and ordering. We will then move onto recognising and sorting 2D and 3D shapes. Finally, we will learn how to tell the time to the hour and to the half hour. We will also look at money, which will involve recognising and counting coins. |
Science |
In Science this half term we will look at seasonal changes in Spring and Summer. This will involve looking at what changes occur from winter to spring and then spring to summer, including the weather changes, the changes in plants and trees, changes in hours of daylight and changes in the clothing that we wear in each season. |
Topic |
We will be looking at Skipton Castle as our local history topic this half term. This will involve looking at how Skipton Castle has changed over time; looking at what it would have been like as a Norman castle, to a Medieval castle to the castle of today and identifying similarities and differences. We will also look at different events that have happened at the castle and at how the castle is significant in our local area. |

In DT this half term we will be investigating, designing, making and evaluating a fruit salad! This will link with the Fairtrade Fortnight. |

P.E. |
We will be doing PE on Monday and Thursday this half term. Our PE topics this half term are tennis and net and wall games.
