Year 1H

Curriculum for Year 1
In Year 1 our children are taught following the National Curriculum. The Curriculum subjects are:
• English
• Maths
• Science
• Design and technology
• Information and Communication Technology (ICT)
• History
• Geography
• Art and design
• Music
• Physical education

We also are required to teach religious education, although parents have the right to withdraw children for all or part of the religious education curriculum. In addition, we teach personal, social and health education (PSHE) and citizenship.
In Year 1 we aim to develop children’s interest through planning stimulating and creative project work which is linked to other areas of the curriculum.

Currently in Year 1H
In YIH we have been reading stories with fantasy settings. We used our imaginations to think of lots of describing words and similes to describe the settings of some of our favourite stories. We then began to plan our own fantasy story. We thought of the setting, characters, plot and ending. We used a new programme called 2paintapicture to draw the setting we imagined before we began to write the description which comes at the beginning of the story to set the scene and excite the reader. Can you think of a story that could be set on one of the settings you can see? What would happen in your story?
