Year 1 Learning Showcase
2025/26
Highlights from Term 1
What a busy and exciting term it’s been!
In English, the children have been inspired by Astro Girl by Ken Wilson-Max. They explored a mysterious astronaut’s backpack, wrote in role as Astrid, and created their own leaflets about training to be an astronaut. Their enthusiasm for space travel has been out of this world! 🚀✨
In Maths, we’ve been exploring place value within 10 in lots of practical and hands-on ways. The children have used counters, cubes, and number cards to build, compare, and order numbers, helping them develop a strong understanding of what each number represents. 🔢⭐
In DT, the children designed and made their own windmills, learning how to build and support strong structures before evaluating their designs. 🌬️🌈
In Geography, we’ve been learning about where in the world we are. The children explored their classroom and school grounds, noticed what they could see around them, and shared their ideas about our playground and local environment. 🌍🏫
In Science, we’ve been learning about the seasons and the weather. The children have been observing changes outside, talking about different types of weather, and thinking about how the seasons affect what we wear and do. ☀️🍂🌧️❄️
It’s been a wonderful term of creativity, exploration, and discovery — we’re so proud of all the children’s hard work and enthusiasm! 🌟
