Year 1 2019 - 2020

Welcome to Class 1

We hope you had a wonderful Christmas and New Year. Thank you very much for the kind and generous gifts. They were much appreciated.

This half term our history topic is 'Who is the greatest history maker?'. We will be thinking about what it means for someone to 'make history' and explore the lives of Guy Fawkes, Malala Yousafzai, Marie Curie and Grace O'Malley. This cross-curricular topic will weave into other subjects and our role play area will become a hospital.

Children will change their reading books weekly. The specific day can be found in the reading record.

Homework will be given each Friday to be completed and returned by the following Tuesday.

P.E will take place on Monday and Wednesday. Please ensure, on these days, all children come to school in PE kits, tracksuits and trainers. This term we will enjoy yoga and games.

We encourage each child to bring a named water bottle to school each day. Water bottles are available from the school office. Children in Year 1 will have the opportunity to have a piece of fruit each morning at no charge. Children may bring in 35 pence each Wednesday to purchase a cookie at morning playtime. They may also bring in 20 pence each Friday to purchase a slice of toast.

We look forward to a super year with you and your child. If you have any concerns or questions please feel free to ask.

Mrs Blair, Mrs North and Mrs Pritchard
