Year 1
Class Teacher |
| Miss Matthews |
We have quite an adventure ahead of us this year, so let’s jump right in as a team! There is lots to learn and lots of fun to be had along the way.
Our Topic is 'Paws, claws and whiskers'
Soft fur, sharp claws and twitching whiskers. What’s your favourite animal? One that meows? One that barks? Or maybe one that scurries or slithers?
This half term, year 1 will be learning all about animals, what they like to eat and where they like to sleep. As well as this, we will be finding all about different types of animals from house pets to wild, and looking at their features. In art, we’ll be drawing, printing and layering to create camouflage animal prints whilst experimenting with different textures. We may even have a surprise class member joining us!

Homework:
Homework: Homework will be set every Tuesday and needs to be completed by the following Monday.
Reading: Reading is incredibly important and we would like each child to bring with them their books and yellow reading record each day in their folder.
Your child will take two different types of book home:
- Little Wandle Phonics book – this book will come home with your child on Friday, after completing their reading groups throughout the week, and is to be returned on Monday.
- Sharing book – this book has been chosen by them and should be enjoyed together. Therefore, it is important to remember that their chosen book may not directly match to their reading ability. They will be changed at different points through the week.
English: Every week there will be English homework will be stuck into a book to be completed.
Maths: Every week there will be Maths homework stuck into your orange homework book to be completed.
Spellings: Spelling words are given out on a Tuesday and should be practiced at home for a quiz the following Monday.
PE:
Each week we have 2 PE lessons and these will take place on Tuesdays and Thursday. Please make sure your child wears their PE kit to school on these days. Please make sure all earrings are removed and your child is not wearing trainers with laces. We also take part in the Daily Mile on non PE days.
