Please find attached the Y1 knowledge organiser for our Seasonal Changes topic. We return to this during the different seasons (we have done Autumn and Winter already - so you may have heard lots about this already!) but will be looking at Spring as we see signs it is here.

Our knowledge organisers provide an overview of what we anticipate most children to understand by the end of the teaching in this area.

Mr Cresswell has shared some online safety stories in an ICT blog - be sure to look out for those child-friendly texts with important messages. We are going to use Goldilocks in school this week as well as considering our own digital footprints and talking about what we should do if pop ups appear on our screen.
