Lowry-Year 1

Welcome to Lowry - Year 1!

Welcome to Lowry Class!

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. Miss Jackson and Mrs Nielsen will also be spending the days with us. Mrs Kilby 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 the half-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. In Computing, we will be learning how to log on, save and retrieve learning and improve our keyboard skills. Our RSHCE 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 recognising where France is on a map. We will be learning an old-school Hip Hop style song called Hey You! in our Music sessions. Identifying, grouping and comparing materials is our thought-provoking Science topic.
