Lowry-Year 1

Welcome to Lowry - Year 1!

In Lowry class we live and breathe our School Values of R.E.S.P.E.C.T as well as our Habits of Mind.

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

Our key concept this half term is DETERMINATION. We will be considering what this means to us personally and how we show this in our lives. Children will make a video at the end of thehalf-term to share this understanding with their families.

RE focusses on the Christian Bible story of Creation. Our learning journey will see the children relate this to our outside and school environments. Your respectful children will continue to develop their considerate attitudes to our daily worships too.

Our curriculum revolves around our concept and also looks at other areas. In History, we will be closely studying Samuel Cody and his determination to develop flight. In DT, we will be researching, designing and creating our own moving books. We are boosting our footballing skills in our outside PE sessions. For our indoor PE sessions, we will be dusting off our (imaginary!) dancing shoes as we choreograph and perform dances inspired by flight. These sessions will be supported by our specialist dance coach,

In Computing, we will be learning how to log on, save and retrieve learning and improve our keyboard skills. Our PHSE centres on relationships education including topics such as families and people who care for me, respectful relationships and caring friendships. We are introducing basic French vocabulary from last term and recognising where France is on a map. We will be learning how to play the ukulele in our weekly sessions with a Hampshire music specialist. Sun and the seasons is our thought-provoking Science topic.
