Dear Parents and Carers,

We have had another great week; the children have enjoyed making up their own stories based on ‘Queen Victoria’s Knickers’.  Please remember that Victorian day is next Wednesday 29^th January 2025.

We will continue with independent learning and will be looking at foundation lessons consisting of, RE, Science, Music, PSHE, History, Art and PE.

Reminders:  

• Victorian day: Wednesday 29th January 2025.
• PE: Please note that the children will not be having PE on this day with the sports coaches. We will move Year 1’s PE lesson just for that week to Thursday, 30th January 2025.
• Computing lesson- Please could all children bring in an empty Fruit Shoot bottle? If you have more than one, please bring them in, as each child will need one for their Computing lesson by Friday 31st January 2025.
• Please ensure all children bring a named coat to school. Children can bring a pair of wellies and leave them in their cloakroom to use, if needed. Please ensure your child comes to school with a water bottle (water only, not squash) and a healthy snack (school fruit is available).
• Reading record books- Please try and fill in the reading record so we can see how much your child is reading (just the book name and an adult initial). When your child has read these books a minimum of 3 times, they can change their books in class. Please can reading records be brought into school every day.
• The weekly spelling books will be sent home on a Monday and need to be returned to school on the following Monday, for new spellings to be added.
• We kindly request that children do not bring fiddle toys or any other toys from home to school. These items are getting lost, which is causing upset among the children. To avoid any further upset, please ensure that all toys are kept at home. However, children who have specific arrangements in place and require these toys for support are exempt from this request. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Thank you for your support.

The Year 1 Team
