Key Stage 1 News

We have made a wonderful start to Term 2 in Key Stage 1! It appears that our students utilised the break to rejuvenate, as our classrooms are awash with enthusiasm, energy, and strong work ethics!

In Year 1, students will study several African stories with repetitive patterns and phrases, including ‘We’re Going on A Lion Hunt’ and ‘Bringing the Rain to Kapiti Plain’ before writing letters and postcards for different situations. In Maths, children will continue learning to count to and across 100, (forward and backward), and develop an understanding of how to add together one and two-digit numbers. In Science, children have already begun learning about different plant parts while in History we will be taking a journey back to prehistoric times to learn all about dinosaurs.

In Year 2, children will be delving into the exciting world of fantasy stories when they study the Talk 4 Writing text, The Emperor of Absurdia. Later, children will read and write their own information texts about the Big 5, and practise their performance poetry. In Maths, children will apply what they know in different contexts, such as problem solving and reasoning and do some further work on money problems, especially when calculating change. In Science, children will continue learning about Habitats as well as studying plants, their parts and functions.

Aside from this, KS1 children are excited that they will soon be receiving their production scripts in readiness for our week 11 performance.

So as you can see, we have another terrific term planned in KS1 and I can’t wait to see what our children achieve in the months ahead!
