Year 1 Curriculum Project
Year 1 Project - Childhood
In the Childhood project, your child will learn words and phrases related to the passage of time. They will explore artefacts to help them to understand childhood in the past and how childhood has changed over time. They will explore the six stages of life and explore timelines and family trees. Everyday life in the 1950s will be explored, including shopping, transport, family life and childhood. They will also learn about the significance of Queen Elizabeth II's coronation in 1953 by studying photographs and online sources. The children will use maps to explore how places have changed over time and highlight any similarities or differences between childhood today and childhood in the 1950s.
Memorable Experience - Childhood past and present
Geography - Settlements over time
History - Historical vocabulary; Historical artefacts; Timelines; Everyday life and childhood in 1950s; significant events - Queen's Coronation; enquiry

This week's homework is;
- To read for at least 10 minutes everyday to an adult.
- 10 minutes of Numbots (codes in reading record books)
- For those wanting additional work -
English: draw a picture and write sentences about it.
Practice writing words which can be sounded out such as church, bird, boat etc
Maths: Can they write the eight fact families for a part whole model
Tip: 6 is the whole, one of the parts is 4 the other is 2 so the eight facts will be:
addition facts subtraction facts
4 + 2 = 6 so 6 = 4 + 2 6 - 2 = 4 so 4 = 6 - 2
2 + 4 = 6 so 6 = 2 + 4 6 - 4 = 2 so 2 = 6 - 4
If your child does any of these, please send them in so that they can receive house points.
