If you have any specific enquiries about Year 1 then please feel free to contact Mr Woollcott (Year 1 Manager) using y1manager@hampton.kent.sch.uk. Alternatively you can call to make an arrangement for a telephone consultation via the office.
Home Learning
There will be no specific homework sent home for children in Year 1. However, we do expect children to read regularly at home.
Topic
Our topic this term is called ‘Jambo! Africa!’ and we will be learning all about the continent of Africa. This will include learning about the similarities and differences between African countries and England and exploring their culture, food, school and daily lives. In writing we will look at stories from other cultures, in particular ‘Handa’s Surprise’ and ‘Tinga Tinga Tales’. We will also continue to work on non-fiction texts too.
