Hedgehogs
The Year One Learning Journey
In the Autumn Term, the Hedgehogs begin their learning journey by exploring ‘Magical Story Land’. This term we share a wide variety of stories to explore the topic, including traditional stories and fairy tales. We spend time consolidating the phonics learning from Year R and learn early writing skills. We learn to write in joined, cursive writing. We enjoy our science as we investigate the Seasons, the Human Body and our Senses. In history, we discover what it might have been like to go to our school 100 years ago and live in a medieval castle. We enjoy a trip to Arundel castle to bring this learning to life
Year 1 is a very busy, fun-filled year in which the children grow and develop hugely.
In the Summer Term, the Hedgehogs go on a journey of discovery as we head under the sea. Our geography learning involves us learning about the oceans of the world, and the seas and capital cities of the United Kingdom. We visit Haslemere Museum where we learn all about coral and fossils and learn about the history of seaside holidays. In science, we focus on different materials and recording observations, as we monitor the growth of our own sunflowers.
Year 1 is a very busy, fun-filled year in which the children grow and develop hugely. The ‘Hedgehogs’ team love teaching in this incredibly rewarding year-group!
