Welcome Meeting

 It was lovely to see so many of you attend our welcome meeting on a very hot Thursday afternoon at the start of term! For those who were unable to join us, here is the information we shared.  

We are looking forward to another busy and fun half term as we return to school for the second half of the Spring term. Here is a snapshot of our learning....

Home Learning and Support at Home

New reading books will be sent home every Friday; one ELS phonetically-decodable book, which we ask that you read four times a week if possible, and one sharing book to enjoy together with a focus more on comprehension than decoding. Please write the date and details of pages read in your child’s reading diary.

We will also send home weekly spellings to learn. These will be based around the Year 1 Common Exception words, numbers to 20 (written as words) and days of the week.

 Activities and useful websites to support your child’s learning:

Busy Fingers!

As soon as we arrive in the mornings we like to get busy! Here are some of the activities we do when we get to school as we wait for all our friends to arrive before the register is taken. 

1, 2, 3, 4, 5...

We love numbers in Year 1 and we're learning to count on, count back, compare, order, recognise different number representations and so much more... often with the help of the Numberblocks! This Summer we are going to be learning all these skills up to 100!

Which is your favourite number?

Reminders:

  • Children should come to school in PE kit on Mondays and Thursdays. 
  • Please ensure your child has a named water bottle in school. 
  • Reading books and record books should be brought into school every day.
