Dear Parents and Carers,

Once again thank you for your continued support for this term.

We have had an amazing start to year 1. This terms topic focus was Ourselves. We brought in Heritage Boxes with things that were special to us and shared with our class.

Also we visited Kelly Avenue and planted seeds ready for Spring. Hopefully we get to go back and check how they have grown.

Finally we went to visit the Fire Station to understand about jobs in our local community. This was VERY FUN!

Looking forward to Autumn 2!

This term in year 1 we will be learning about Ourselves focusing on history, D&T and computing. The children will be coming home talking about their class experiences linking to our learning.

For Maths we will focus on Place Value and Number Bonds. We are going to learn about comparing numbers so please watch the video below with your child.

Science we are learning about Animals Including Humans. We will focus on learning and labelling body parts including our senses. As scientist we will make sure to look at fair testing.

PSHE is Being in my world which links closely to our topic led learning experiences. In RE we cover a variety of different faiths and cultures.

PE is Multi-Skills on a Thursday so the children can come into school with their PE uniform underneath their jumper.

Reading and Phonics – Make sure to read with your child everyday and sign their reading records. Encourage your child to segment (break up) words into their sound parts and blend them (push them back together) to read the whole word. Make it fun – Enjoy reading together. Give characters funny voices and engage with the pictures. Make a game out of finding words that rhyme or start with the same sound. Year-1-reading-with-your-child-parent-advice

Dear Parents and Carers,

This week is assessment week so please discuss with your child what is means as it is all based on what they have been learning at school.

We will focus on Maths, Phonics, Reading and Writing across the curriculum.

Well done to all the parents who have read with their child and signed their reading records as there has been improvement.

Please ensure your child’s books and reading records stay inside their book bags daily as we also read with them at school.

Competition reminder for years 1 to 6: Make sure you check the letters that were previously in their book bag. Also look at your year groups door entry for the notice.

Pyjama day is this Friday and we are looking forward to it.

Thank you
