Welcome to Summer Term in Year 1
We are now in our final term of Year 1 and are excited for another fun-filled term of exploration, learning and development. From hands-on activities to exciting topics that spark curiosity, we can’t wait to see our children grow in confidence and develop their skills. It is going to be a wonderful term full of discovery and enjoyment!
During this final term, we will continue to work with your child to progress their learning and develop their understanding as well as support them in getting ready for their next chapter of ‘Year 2’ … t
As always, our aim is for your children to become confident learners and to carry their love of learning throughout their lives.
We will continue to learn and explore our six character traits as we move through this term and our new Curriculum Bookshelf.

Summer Bookshelf
Our Summer Bookshelf is filled with high quality, engaging texts which will inspire our learning across the curriculum.
The books this term will help to spark our imagination and curiosity. We will be delving into the enchanted world of fairytales and love of reading with ‘Little Red Reading Hood’ – a twist on the traditional tale. We will develop our questioning skills and expressing our own views through ‘Just Because’. ‘Curious Questions and Answers about Plants’ and ‘Secret Sky Garden’ will be explored through our Science learning this term, the latter helping to inspire us about how we can create and make a difference.
It is going to be a busy and thoroughly enjoyable term!
