Welcome to Finches Class
PE day for Term 4 is:
FRIDAYS
Outdoor learning day for Term 4 is:
THURSDAYS
We are a Year 1 class taught by Mrs Jensen.
We are one of two Year 1 classes at Monkshouse where we love to learn as we play.
We like to stay as active as we can during the day and especially love time to run between our lessons. We are great at junk modelling and have some great ideas for inventions. It is amazing what we can make from egg boxes and Sellotape!
What are we learning about this Term?
My History – Exploring the Past and Present
This term, the children are learning all about “My History.” They will explore how the past and present connect by thinking about their own memories, special events, and the people who are important to them. Through stories, discussions, and hands‑on activities, the children will begin to understand that they are already part of history.
What the children will be learning
- Personal memories: Talking about special moments in their lives and why they matter.
- Simple timelines: Using words such as before, after, then, and now to sequence events.
- Celebrations: Exploring different celebrations, what they mean, and why they are important to families and communities.
- Childhood past and present: Comparing what childhood is like today with what it was like for parents, grandparents, and people in the past.
- Creating a time capsule: To finish the topic, the children will create their own time capsule to show how they are making history right now.
