Term 6: Fun Facts about Space

In Term 6, we are learning about significant people who have travelled to space in recent years. To accompany this work, it would be lovely for the children to come up with some fun facts about space! They can present this in any form; models, powerpoints, posters, even a quiz! (But they must know the answers/facts to their questions). It can be about the moon, constellations, planets, galaxies, pretty much anything as long as it links to space, is colourful and exciting! We would love to learn from their work! We will share their work in the last week of term. 

Have fun exploring space!  

Term 5:  Write a Royal Charter

We would like the children to imagine that they are the King or Queen of England and have to write a charter.  This should be a piece of writing, explaining some rules or values that they would like the nation to follow.  It could be as serious or as comical as they like.

They could make it into a scroll, a poster or perhaps use technology to create a document, power point or broadcast.

Please send this in by 20th May 2024 so we can share their ideas and vote on whether we would like these rules and what life would be like with the rules. 

Have fun your Royal Highnesses!

Term 4: Create an artwork

This term we are studying 5 different artists during our computing lessons and learning to use paint 

For your homelearning we would like them to choose one of the artists and create an artwork in any media such as paint, pencils, crayons, collage, felt tips or in fact a computer paint program if they would like to continue exploring what they are learning at school.

Please send this in on the week beginning 27^th March.

The artists and art works are as follows:

Rothko https://www.tate.org.uk/kids/explore/who-is/who-mark-rothko

Kandinsky https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qt89fWM9ex4

Picasso https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rxRpi-N6pg

Matisse https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hy4DUpsC22c

Julian Opie https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0113zh4

Term 3: Research and create a presentation about a sports personality.

To support their learning about the history and geography of sporting events we would like your child to research information about a sports man or women.  They do not have to be extremely famous, especially if there is a friend or family member who is a sports person and may have an interesting life story to share.

However, we would like them to find out information such as when they began their sport, what else they have done in their life or other achievements.  They need to research where they were born, how old they are, family and education as well as which competitions they have entered.

The information can be shared in a variety of ways; they could make a fact sheet/poster, a power point presentation, create an artwork, write a book, make a cartoon strip etc.

Happy researching!

Term 2 - Project on a member of the family

In Term 2, the children will be looking at Family History. To support their learning, could you create a family tree using drawings and/or photos to represent family members. 

As an extension to this, could your child gather information on a family member that has experienced something interesting, exciting or extraordinary in their life. Maybe they have run a marathon, had an exciting job.  The family member does not have to be living (thinking of WW1/WW2.) The work can be presented in any way your child wishes; poster, information booklet, leaflet, power point are some examples. If a family member has been somewhere exciting, your child could create a model and be able to talk about it. 

If you have any questions, please ask any member of the Year 1 team.

Thank you.

Term 1 - homework due Monday 16th October 2023

In Science we are learning all about seasonal changes. For this terms homework we would like you to go on an autumn walk and look at the changes around. You might want to collect some things that you find on your walk too.

Please record your journey and what you see on your walk in any way that you wish.  This could include a film, a poster, a map, a story or an artwork. : 

Half Term and Term 6 Project

On the last day of Term 5, the children will be bringing home a sunflower seed that they have potted. Please keep a diary of them tending to their seed as it grows over the coming weeks. The diary can be in the form of photographs, measurements, written entries or any other outside the box idea you may have!

In week 6 of Term 6, we will be sharing their sunflower diaries. 

We can't wait to see and hear about their sunflowers. We also wonder who will have the tallest . . .
