Year 1

Welcome to Year 1!

Mrs Bush, Miss Curtis, Miss Jarvis, Mrs Monk and Miss Hirst are our Year 1 teachers.

This term, our Inquiry Project is Expedition Adventure. In Year 1, Explorer Ed has been in contact and needs the children’s help with where to go on his next expedition. The children will be creating a video trailer to encourage Explorer Ed to pick their place to explore. To support them with their planning of their video, they will be looking at a range of explorers and pioneers from the past and where they explored. In science, we will be exploring materials and their properties so they can explain to Explorer Ed what he might wear. In DT, we will be creating experiments with transport for Explorer Ed to travel to their place.
