To begin the summer term Year 1 will become geographers, we will have to decide where we would like to live when we grow up Shaldon or London. We will start this enquiry by going on a walk around our local area looking for natural and man-made features. Then the children will recap all of their knowledge about Shaldon and its features and then will explore London’s features. We will create a persuasive speech the children must persuade Miss Alam to live in their village or City. Having the children present their speeches will allow children to build their confidence in presenting and have the ability to respect other people's views even when they do not agree. Up next is Narrative, the children will use all of their fairy tale knowledge from reception and Year 1 to create their very own fairy tale. I feel that this will be a magical learning journey.

After the holidays, we will be getting our gloves on ready to learn how to plant seeds and the importance of looking after our plants in our world. The children will be investigating the importance of the environment a plant grows in and how different factors can impact how plants grow. This links to our last science enquiry where we thought about how special our planet is and how need to look after it.  Why are plants important for humans, animals, and the planet? We will then be moving on to DT where we will be writing a recipe and making it to serve at our Big lunch. To end our time in year 1, we will be focusing on RSE, the importance of friendships and families.

When we look back on our time in Year 1 so far, we have gained so much new knowledge, made new memories, and made amazing progress. Here we go summer term, new knowledge, more progress, and more memories.
