YEAR 1

Welcome to a brand new school year and welcome to Year 1! I hope that the children will be very happy in my class and will enjoy all the new things that we will be learning about.

Across the year we will be visiting our school grounds to look at how the seasons change beginning this term with how summer turns into autumn. We will learn about how the weather, our clothes and celebrations change across the year.

We will be reading and learning the stories of 'The Enormous Turnip' and 'How to Catch a Star' this term.

The children will continue to learn how to read and write independently through our daily Read Write Inc phonics sessions that they began in EYFS. Reading books will be sent home every three, four or five days depending on which colour band your child reads and can be read multiple times at home. Please make sure that your child has a school bag so that they can bring their reading book in to school every day.  On Fridays the children can choose a reading for pleasure book from our class book box. This may be a book that you can read to them rather than them reading by themselves.

We have been using a story map to learn the story ‘How to Catch a Star’. We made our own stars.

We have been learning about how our brains work through our ‘My Happy Mind’ scheme. The soft toys are all characters that are helping us to learn how to have a happy healthy mind. 

We have been learning all about autumn.

During anti-bullying week we learnt about caring for each other and how to be a good friend.
