YEAR ONE
Autumn 2
Hello everyone,
Our topic this half term is Toys and we will be exploring the history of toys, designing a toy and writing invitations to a Teddy Bears' Tea Party!
We continue with our Read Write Inc phonics scheme and hope that you are continuing to hear lots of ‘Fred Talk’ at home. Reading books will be changed every Friday. However, please send reading books and records in every day as your child reads daily in school.
In Maths, we continue to follow the White Rose scheme and have been working hard on our counting and fact family skills. Please help your child at home by counting forwards and backwards with them to 20.
PE lessons are every Thursday and Friday, so please remember PE kits on those days.
Please remember to label all of your child’s clothing so items don’t get lost.
We look forward to a successful half term together. Please do not hesitate to speak to the Year 1 team if you have any questions.
Thank you,
Ms Coker

Welcome Back Everyone!
I hope you have had a wonderful Half Term and that you enjoyed celebrating the Queen's Jubilee!
This Half Term our Topic will be Wonderful Women. We will be learning all about Ellen MacArthur and Queen Elizabeth I.
In Maths we will be looking at numbers to 100, Money and Time. You could help at home by counting to 100 and spotting numbers to 100 on your way to school. You could also practise counting in 10s to 100...for an extra challenge why not try counting backwards!
As the weather warms up, please remember to send your chil into school with a water bottle.
Just a reminder that we are now instilling a fine of 50p per lost or damaged Reading Record, and £2 per lost of damaged Phonics Book, so please keep these safe. Water bottles must be kept out of Book Bags, as they often leak and result in a damaged book.
Spellings will be given out every Friday and we will have a spelling test every Thursday. Please help your child practise these as much as possible at home.
Thank you,
Mrs Mitchell and Pauline
