Our learning theme for the first half of this term is ‘Potty About Plants’ and a curriculum overview and knowledge organiser can be viewed on this website.

During this term, we will continue to send home spellings and home-learning via Microsoft Teams. Your support in practising these skills at home is invaluable and evident in the children’s class work. A very big ‘thank you!’

Next half term, in Summer ii, Year 1 pupils will be taking part in the Phonics Screening Check. There is a parent information meeting on Friday 8th May to share more information on this. Past Phonics Screening Check papers can be found here: Phonics - GOV.UK if you wish to practise at home. Please also continue with regular reading of their Little Wandle reading books to support their overall reading skills.

P. E. continues to be on Tuesdays and Fridays for Year 1 children.
Please could we remind you that for health and safety reasons, long hair should be tied back and earrings removed or taped over. Challenge for all: if your shoes have laces, can you tie them by yourselves? Can you also please practise zipping up your own coats?

Hopefully, the warmer weather will soon be here so, with this in mind, could we please request that all sun hats and other items of summer clothing are named. Throughout the summer, please ensure children bring in their water bottles every day as they will be encouraged to drink after playtimes and lunchtimes.

Thank you, as ever, for your continuing support.

Mrs Cryer, Miss Jupp and Miss Garland
