Love Learning, Love Life

Always Aiming High

Welcome back!

Welcome back after the Easter holidays! We hope that you have had a lovely time with all of your family. We are so excited to start our learning this term - your final term in Year 1!

Our topic this term is ‘Where would you travel to?’

We will focus on the lives of significant others - comparing aspects of lives of well-known adventurers.

We will look at world maps, atlases and globes and begin to name the world's seven continents and five oceans.

We will also look at the different types of animals and describe and compare them. We will move onto different materials and their physical properties.

Our Pathways to Write texts for this term are:

Toys in Space by Mini Grey

Goldilocks and just the one bear by Leigh Hodkinson

PE will be on a Monday and a Friday afternoon so you will need to make sure to have your PE kit in school on these days. Your PE kit can stay in school to make sure we have it ready for these days.

You will be given homework which will be sent home on Fridays. Each week we will send home a piece of literacy and numeracy homework. You need to bring your homework back in by the following Wednesday.

We will change your reading books twice a week and will read together during ‘Group Reading’ daily as well as having an individual read with an adult.

Always remember to bring your reading books into school with you every day, along with your reading record.

Try to practise at home with your grown-ups as much as you can, this way you will become superstar readers! It would be lovely to hear about books you have enjoyed reading.

We will check your reading records to see which books you have been enjoying with your grown-ups at home! :)

Remember to bring a water bottle into school with you.

We can’t wait to see all of your wonderful work this term!
