Welcome to Year 1

Welcome to our Year 1 Web Pages.  We're excited for our autumn term and have lots of exciting learning ahead of us.  Here is what we will be learning about this term:

• Our main theme this term is ‘Our Wonderful World’. This is a geography-based topic and we will be learning all about Bingham and the human and physical features in the town. You can read more information about this topic on the knowledge organiser below.
• In Maths we will be consolidating our learning on addition and subtraction and focussing on number bonds to 10.
• In Science we will be learning about the body human senses.
• Our Art will be colour mixing making secondary colours from primary colours.

 Please watch out for regular updates on the website where you can see our amazing children in Year 1 working, playing and learning together.

New Reading Books ...

Oxford Reading Owl has some e books that you can access for your children to read new material at their current reading level. 

You do have to sign up but is free and you will be able to access new e books.  Of course this is not the same as holding a real book but it is another way to engage your child in reading.    We hope this link is of use to you.  Remember you are looking for "ebooks."
