Livingstone Primary School
Welcome to Wrens
Mrs White, Mrs Layal and Mrs Hyso would like to welcome you to year 1 and Wrens.
In year 1 there are many opportunities for children to learn through play and exploration. These opportunities are linked to our adult-led teaching sessions and follow the National Curriculum. We want to encourage children to ask questions, use their problem solving and reasoning skills and seek answers and ultimately foster a love of learning that will continue throughout their life.
Summer 1 Overview
Maths
We will be learning about fractions and how to find a half and a quarter of an object, shape and quantity. We will then move on to learning about turns, directions and positions. After that we will practise counting to 100 and position numbers on a numberline. We will then learn about money and how to recognise different notes and coins and add different amounts of coins together.
English
In English we will be exploring the fairy tale of The Three Billy Goats Gruff and writing an alterantive version. We will then think about holidays and explore the genre of postcards using the Katie Morag series of books.
