Year 1 - Term 6

24/5/2019

 
​This term our unit of inquiry is ‘Families’ histories can enable people to discover cultural origins.’ We will be following different lines of inquiry to help us discover:
  • What is the role of the Royal family?
  • How are different cultures connected?
  • How can we find out about our family’s history?
This term, we will be using our own family trees to ask questions about our heritage, as well as looking at the Royal family and their history. Our unit of inquiry will lead onto learning about our country and finding out more about what it means to be British. We will look at our own culture, as well as looking at the range of other cultures that make up our school community.  We will also learn to identify capital cities around the world and will compare cultural traditions.

In English, our primary text for the term will be ‘Katie in London’ by James Mayhew.  To begin, we will use what we have read in the book to write a character description of Katie.  We will practise using describing words (adjectives, similes and adverbs) and conjunctions to describe Katie’s appearance and personality.  Leading on from this, we will be retelling and writing a newspaper report about Katie’s adventure.  We will practise self-correcting our sentences and will work together to up level our writing, for example, we might concentrate on our writing rules or our sentence structure. After exploring British culture in unit of inquiry, we will also create a set of instructions on how to make tasty British treats.

In maths, we will start the term by revisiting place value. This time we will be extending our knowledge and understanding of numbers within 100. We will learn how to count forwards and backwards and will practise reading and writing numbers to100. When learning about place value, we will order, compare and partition numbers. Later on in the term, we will be learning about money. We will secure our understanding of the value of different coins and notes and will count coins to find a total. We will compare amounts and will practise paying for different priced items. Lastly, we will learn about time. To start with, we will simply look at the language we use for this and then we will use analogue clocks to learn how to tell the time to the hour and to half past the hour.
For the first week of this term, the timetable will run slightly differently due to Healthy Living Week. We have got some exciting workshops planned and the lessons to go with these will all revolve around living a healthy life style.
