Welcome to Year 1!

Welcome back! We hope you have had a lovely break and are all refreshed and ready for our final half term in Year 1. 

We will be starting off the half term by sharing the text The Cafe at The Edge of The Woods by Mikey Please. We will use this text to continue to focus on writing in full sentences and using conjunctions to extend our sentences. We will also be using adjectives to help us to describe mythical creatures and magical foods.

Phonics will be taught every morning and your child will read at least twice a week in school. Please try to read at least 4 times a week with your child at home and record this in their planner. 

In Maths we will be completing our first fractions unit as we will be finding halves and quarters of shapes and numbers before we move onto time and our final place value unit ofthe year as we focus on mubers from 50-100.

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

PE will take place on Wednesday 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 and blue shorts. We are hopeful that PE will take place outside this half term so please include trainers and suitable outdoor wear (tracksuit bottoms/leggings/hoodie). Please ensure that your child's names is in all of their items of clothing. 

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
