About Busy Bees (Year 1)

Welcome to Year One Busy Bees!

This half term our topic is focused around 'Superheroes'.

We will begin by finding out about nurses throughout history and how they have helped us to have safe medical treatment, and the changes they implemented which changed people lives. Such nurses include Florence Nightingale, Mary Seacole and Edith Cavell. Our science learning will focus on materials. We will group objects into what they are made of (such as wood or plastic) and find out about their properties, including if they are waterproof or rigid. Our design technology work sees us designing and creating a superhero costume, based on our knowledge of materials. We will use superhero themed texts in English to help us create sentences using a capital letter, fingers spaces, correctly spelt words, a conjunction and a full stop. We will also practise writing questions, create a healthy eating report and develop our use of adjectives in character descriptions. Our maths work will focus on recognising, writing and ordering numbers to 50, along with further work on addition and subtraction.

Our question to think about in RE is 'What is the good news that Jesus brings?' and PSHE will focus on identity (what makes us unique), behaviour and responsibility.

We are looking forward to being busy in school and shaping our superheroes of the future.
