Welcome to the Spring Term. Our new topic for Year 1 is 'Space Race.'
This is a History based Topic that will cover:
Neil Armstrong & The Moon Landing, The Chronology of different Events and Significant People.
Homework & Reading
Children will take home a reading book and reading record book each day. Please use this record book to record when they have read and a short message of how they got on. Please ensure children have these in their book bags each school day.
Children also have their own Tapestry Early Learning Journal online. You can add observations of your child from home which can count towards appropriate assessments.
There is also a yellow homework book sent home each Friday with a short activity linked to either their Maths/Phonics learning for Reception children and for Year 1 they will have a Maths and English based activity. This needs to be returned no later than Wednesday AM.
This term we will begin to send out spellings to practise. Please do not panic, this is just a great way for the children to develop their segmenting skills. Words will be matched to their current phonic knowledge using graphemes from phase 2/3.
Our reception children will join the main 'Reception' class for Understanding the World, daily phonics, Maths and RE lessons. Our role play area will be transformed into a home corner with opportunities for the children to use their imagination cooking, ironing, setting the table, making phone calls and looking after babies Millie and Blue.
Spellings
Spellings are also handed out on Friday's ready for a test the following Friday. Please make sure the children are practicing their spellings every week.
Share a story journal
Every week on a Friday, one child from the class will bring home the 'Share a story journal'. This is a further opportunity for you to read with your child while enjoying a nice cup of 'hot chocolate' (provided by the school). If it is your turn to complete the journal, we ask that it is returned on the Monday. Please record who you shared the book with, what was your favourite page and why? It would also be good if you could stick in a photo of you having your yummy hot chocolate.
PE
PE is currently on a Tuesday (after break) and a Friday (after break). Please ensure your child has the correct (named) kit (including daps or trainers) on these days.
