Welcome back!

Welcome back after the Summer 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 first term in Year 1! 

Our topic this term is: Journeys- near and far.

This is a topic based on our geographical location. You will learn about your locality, as well as other countries and oceans around the world. We will focus on books that highlight characters' journeys.

Our Pathways to Write texts for this term are:

Lost and Found by Oliver Jeffers

Nibbles by Emma Yarlett

PE will be on a Monday and 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.

Remember to bring a water bottle into school with you.

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 once a week and will read together during ‘Group Reading’ daily as well as having an individual read with an adult. You will also choose a 'reading for pleasure' book to take home every friday. This does not need to be a book you can read independently but one that you can share with a grown-up. 

Always remember to bring your reading books into school with you, 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 :)

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

Miss Roberts and Miss Price.
