Year 1 Learning. Term 1, Week 4

Last Week’s WOW day – 

Thank you for all your efforts last week. We had a great day and it was lots of fun. 

The children drew their own self portraits which we are displaying in our classrooms. It will be interesting to see how much they change throughout the year!

Thank you also to those of you who were able to attend the back to school meeting last Thursday. More information about meetings about our curriculum will be given out soon. If you missed the meeting the information is available back in our blogs or by following the below link.

Welcome to Year 1!

School is closed on Monday 19th September – Bank Holiday – Queen Elizabeth II Funeral

Noticeboard

  • Please ensure that all children’s clothing is named and water bottles and fruit boxes. There are many that are so thank you. It has been really helpful to get things back to those they belong to.
  • Children will change for their PE sessions so please continue to ensure that children’s named PE kits are in school on their pegs. They need a white T-shirt, black shorts and a change of shoes, pumps or trainers.
  • You will find below a grid showing the sessions to be taught each week. They do not exactly follow days as each class has different sessions due to support and PE times being different but it allows you to see the week as a snapshot of sessions..  

We will always aim to get outside, whatever the weather, as much as possible so children will really need a waterproof coat each day.
