Lowry-Year 1

Welcome to Lowry - Year 1!

Welcome to Lowry Class - Year 1!

Lowry Class are a bunch of friendly, caring and fun 5-6 year olds, plus our teacher Miss Church and our wonderful LSAs Mrs Sibley and Miss Waller. Mrs Sibley will be covering Miss Church’s out of class planning time on a Monday afternoon.

Wow, one term already completed as Key Stage 1 children! Your children have impressed me with how quickly they have used new routines and their consistent kindness and super effort in learning.

Our key concept this half term is exploration. We will be considering how this concept can be applied to local areas, as well as experiences and stories further afield. For our exit point, we will produce posters advising others to keep our local nature areas tidy.

RE focusses on the idea of incarnation. Our learning journey will see the children really immerse themselves in the Christmas story and deepen their understanding of why this is so important to Christians.

Our curriculum revolves around our concept and also looks at other areas. In Geography, we will be using a range of sources to explore different continents and countries. In Art, we will be researching the artist L.S. Lowry and creating our own art work in his style. We are boosting our jumping skills in our outside PE sessions. Additionally, we will be improving our cooperation and communication skills in our team building PE sessions. In Computing, we will be considering action and consequence as part of Computer Science.

Our online safety learning will help us start to understand, at a very simple and age-appropriate level, how people search for information online safely. Our RSHCE centres on caring friendships. In Music, the Rhythm in the Way We Walk unit continues to develop the skills of knowing the difference between pulse, rhythm and pitch. Animal survival is our thought-provoking Science topic.
