Welcome to Year 1!

We are so excited to welcome you all back after the half term and we hope that you enjoyed the break with your families. You all worked so hard during your first half term in Year 1 and settled into your new routines very well. I'm very exicted for all of the wonderful things the next few months have in store for us. 

In Maths we will begin be continuing our work on number families and looking at the relationship between addition and subtraction with numbers from 0-10.

In English we will start the half term by using the Julia Donaldson text 'Room on The Broom' before moving on to 'The Great Explorer' a book that links with our current History topic. 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. 

Our Science topic is all about animals and humans 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
