Welcome to Year 1

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

• Our main theme this topic this term is “Bright Lights, Big City.”  We will be learning about London and Queen and her Jubilee.   In Geography and we will be learning about the city of London and the town of Bingham.  See you can see more information on our knowledge organiser.
• In Maths we will be consolidating our learning on addition and subtraction and learning our number bonds to 10 and then 20.  We will then focus on repeated addition and the beginnings of multiplication and division.

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

Things you can help with at home:
