Class 1

Welcome to Class 1,
I hope that you all had a lovely summer. EYFS this half term we will be focusing on the topic ‘Ourselves’ and Year 1 pupils will focus on the topic ‘Inventors and Inventions’. Please make sure that children have a pair of wellies and a water bottle in school with them at all times. All pupils will have PE on Mondays and Thursdays. Please make sure your child has the correct PE kit, including trainers and that all PE kit is named. This should include a warm tracksuit, separate outdoor P.E. trainers, shorts, T-shirt and plimsoles. Show and Tell is on the first Wednesday of the month for EYFS. We ask that your child bring with them something to act as a starting point for discussion, it can be a favourite toy, something they have made, something from a special visit or a photo. We aim to read with your child at least twice a week, either through guided reading sessions or 1:1 with an adult. Please do not forget to make a quick comment and note of the pages read in their reading diary when you read with your child at home. If your child needs to change their books, they should let me know first thing in the morning and we will try to change them at some point during the day. Your child will receive regular homework. The homework will be linked to the work covered in school and is meant as a reinforcement and extension activity. Year 1 will also focus on weekly spellings to learn, adhering to the spelling patterns and rules within the National Curriculum, as well as High Frequency and Common Exception words. These will be practiced during class time, a copy of the spellings will be sent home for your information. All children will set regular homework for spellings using Spelling Shed starting the week commencing 9th September. Each pupil will be given a login so that you can access this at home. Kind Regards, Miss Martin Key Dates: Here are some dates for your diary: Term starts - Teacher Training Day 27th August Children return to school 28th August After-School Clubs start w/c 2nd September Class welcome meetings w/c 9th September Village Show 15th September Individual Photos TCB EYFS parent 'stay and play' afternoon 24th September 2-3pm Year 1 ‘Inventions and Inventors’ parent afternoon 25th September 2-3pm Parents Evenings 8th & 9th October Teacher Training Day 11th October Half Term 14th-18th October Flu Vaccinations 1st November Decoration Day 2nd December EYFS Nativity 9th December (Time to be confirmed nearer to the time) Year 1 performance 10th December (Time to be confirmed nearer to the time) End of Term 20th December |
