Key Stage 1 – Spring Term

Science– We are going to take part in lots of investigations and experiments that we will plan ourselves. We will be learning how to observe, gather data, ask questions and interpret what we see to help answer further questions.

Computing – We will be using an app called Puppet Pals on the iPads to create a video. During this topic we will be developing our skills to capture sound and images. We will also be learning how to save and retrieve our work as we create a video.

Knowledge and Understanding – We will be looking at Britain over time. The children will be using their detective skills to work out the chronological order of different time periods.  Is there a particular time period you have expertise in? Share some facts with your child and they can tell the class.

Creativity – We will be planning and adapting models and looking at how to strengthen a structure. We will be independently selecting appropriate tools and materials to use in our model making.  In order to make our models we will need cardboard boxes of any shape and size so please send them into school after Christmas.

Music – In music we will be looking at classical music across time, from medieval to present day. Do you know any famous composers you could tell us about?

PSHE– In PSHE we will be celebrating the friendships that we have at Northway and considering what behaviours attribute to being a good friend. We will be looking at the right way to handle situations and solve problems in a sensible manner.

PE – We are looking at a range of dances from different time periods and countries. We will be focusing on developing our dancing skills and learning how to Morris dance.

Thank you for your continued support. If you have any resources, expertise or ideas that would support this topic please let us know.
