Age Related Expectations

Welcome to Year One!

We are taught by Miss Constable and supported by Mrs Jukes and Mrs Folkes. Mrs Foss will also be teaching the children Art on a Wednesday morning. We are so excited to welcome your children back for Spring term!

Year 1 will have PE on a Monday and Tuesday morning. Please ensure that your child comes into school wearing their PE kit on these days. is really important they have a kit that is suitable for indoor and outdoor weather as we will be outside when the weather permits.

Each day, your child will need to bring the following into school:

A water bottle. This will be sent home each evening so a clean one can be sent in the following day.
Reading record and reading books. Your child should have this in school every day.
A coat (preferably waterproof). The children will be spending a lot of time outside!

Birthdays

A quick reminder that instead of sending in sweets for birthdays to be celebrated in class, we encourage all children to donate their favourite picture book to the class that we will keep in school. It is obviously a much healthier choice and places a greater emphasis on reading at this age! Please feel free to inscribe it with a message, as well as their name and age.

Topic Information

Our topic for the Summer term is Ship Ahoy! We will be exploring what life was like for pirates! We will also be researching famous pirates, Ann Bonny and Blackbeard. Below is a knowledge organiser which explains what we will be learning and the vocabulary that we will be using in class. It would be great if you could discuss this with your child at home.

This Spring term, we will continue to explore seasonal change with a particular focus on Spring and Summer. We will also be learning about plants and animals. Below you will find some knowledge organisers to support learning at home.

Reading:

Each week your child is involved in a number of reading activities at school, including daily Read, Write, Inc. sessions. To build on this, your child should be reading regularly at home. Ideally this should be everyday. We encourage your child to read the book three times before we change it. This is so your child can practise any words they found tricky to read and to build on their fluency and comprehension skills. Please record any reading you do in your child’s reading record.

Your child will be heard by an adult at least once a week. As this might happen at any point over the week, it is really important that your child has their reading record in their bag every day.

Homework:

Of course, our learning and progress is hugely supported by parents and carers at home so we would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support!
