Welcome to Year 1 and the Summer Term

The children have made an excellent start to the Summer Term bringing their smiles and the sunshine! It has been great to welcome them back rested and ready for the busy Summer Term.

To find out what lies ahead in the curriculum for this term please see below the Summer Term overview and the Maths Overview for the Summer term.

P.E. sessions continue to take place on Monday afternoons - thank you for ensuring your child comes to school with navy or black tracksuit bottoms, leggings or shorts, a white top / t-shirt, blue school jumper and trainers.

*Ear-rings should be taped up or taken out please!

Homework will continue to be set every Friday and will be detailed below. 

*Please do check your child's book bag daily for Sharing Books which can be changed every Friday and Read Write Inc. Phonics books which will be labelled with a return date.

Friday 26th May

This week we learned two new words - 'algorithm' and 'migration'. If you have time, you could ask your child what these words mean. I wonder who can remember!

Enjoy the half term break and I look forward to seeing the children on Monday 5th June.

• Vocabulary Homework - As a school we are working hard to extend every child's vocabulary. As well as new words taught in curriculum subjects, we aim to improve children's understanding of ten different words each month. It would be very helpful if you could discuss the meaning of these words with your child. Can you and your child use these words in a sentence? Can you use more than one word in a sentence? Make sure your sentence makes sense! The importance should be on understanding of the meaning of each word- please don't worry if your child cannot read or spell the word independently! 

The words for May are listed below:

• Please complete this week's MyMaths tasks. Please get in touch if you have mislaid login details or experience any difficulties.
• CLIC / LearnIts: Please look at the tests the children bring home every Friday and go over any errors. Please get in touch if you need any guidance!
• Please read as often as you can, but at least four times a week and on three of these occasions aloud to an adult. The children will bring home their Phonics books and Sharing Books each week.
