Welcome to Year 1!

We are so excited to welcome you all back after the holidays and can't wait to hear all of your fun and exciting stories from the summer. 

Over the first few weeks, we'll take time to settle into our new suroundings and routines alongside beginning more formalised learning.

In Maths we will begin by working with numbers 1-10 and ensuring we are confident in recording, making and counting these amounts. We will then move on to addition and subtraction before we start to look at numbers up to 20.

In English we wil be focusing on 'What The Ladybird Heard' and using talk for writing and story maps to help us to retell the story. We'll be spending some time foucusing on rhyming words and trying hard to use our phonics skills in our written work. Phonics will be taught every morning and your child will read at least twice a week in school. Please read at least 4 times a week with your child at home and record this in their planner. 

Our Science topic is all about the weather and seasons and in History we'll be finding out all about famous explorers and how they impacted the world that we live in today.

PE will take place on Tuesday and Friday and it is essential that you children bring their PE kit to school on these days. No jewellery is permitted in PE sessions and earrings must be removed.  If your child cannot remove their own earrings, they must be removed prior to coming to school.  Children will need their full PE kit which includes a yellow James Brindley logo tshirt, blue shorts and black pumps. Please ensure that your child's names is in all of their items of clothing. 

To find out more about our learning this term, please see our Autumn Term newsletter at the bottom of this page.

We are very much looking forward to the year ahead and working with your children. Please feel free to contact us at any time should you have any queries or questions. 

Best wishes, Mrs Sharrock and The Year 1 Team
