Welcome to Year 1.

Our learning this term:

This term in maths we will be looking at multiplication and division as well as fractions.

Our English focus will be based on the text “Where the Wild things are”.

In Science we will be learning about plants.

Our Geography focus will be  Polar regions and continents.

In RE we will be looking at Jesus is special.

Our art topic is colour creations.

 

Reading- Reading books will continue to be sent home on a weekly basis.

Reading books will be changed on a Wednesday. We suggest that the children read to an adult each night at home and our expectation is that the children read a minimum of 3 times per week. Each week the children will bring home 3 reading books which will be changed on a Wednesday. Your child will be reading in groups and to teachers throughout the week so please ensure that they bring their book bag into school each day.

P.E

This term, our P.E lesson will be on Wednesday morning. Please send your child to school in their full P.E kit. In colder temperatures, your child is welcome to wear joggers/ leggings to keep them warm.

 

Medical Conditions

A quick reminder! If your child has a medical condition that we need to know about, please inform us as soon as possible. If your child requires an inhaler or any other medication, please make sure it has been returned to school and it is not out of date.

 

If you have any questions or concerns throughout the year we are always here to have a chat. Please come over and chat on the playground after school or if you would like a longer discussion then please contact school on Dojo or via the school office and we can arrange a time and date.

 

Many thanks for your continued support.
