Year 1 Infinity and Beyond Home Learning Information

Year 1: Infinity and Beyond Home Learning Information and Activities Summer Term 2020

The knowledge organiser on the next slide provides all of the information, knowledge and vocabulary that we would have covered in our class lessons. At Manor Hill we like the children to have ‘sticky knowledge’, allowing pupils to know more and remember more for longer and to make links as they move through the year groups. Have some fun with the activities suggested and let your teachers know how you get on!
