Our topic this term is:

ME ME ME!

Who am I?

Our context for Autumn term is Me Me Me! In science, our focus is on our five senses- we'll kick off this learning with a senses scavenger hunt at a local park- parent helpers are very welcome! In art the children will be learning to draw a self portrait. In RE, the children will be looking at how we show gratitude and showing their talents in our show and tell- talent show. Our geography will focus on where we live and go to school and history will be thinking about our own personal history. PSHE will be all about families and looking after our teeth and in DT the children will design and make a reflector to help keep them seen in the dark. So much learning and so much fun!

Homework

Every Friday, the children will have  homework stuck into their homework book.

This homework will have their spellings (taken from Little Wandle phonics learning that week), along with an indication of which maths facts they should practise. Please practise this ready for Thursday.

Maths test = Thursday

Spellings test = Thursday

Please hand your homework book back in on a Thursday, to get next week's homework stuck in. Homework is given out on Fridays.

Please share a book for pleasure everyday, use Reading Eggs or Collin's E books to complete a book and help your child practise their reading.

DATES FOR THE DIARY- autumn 2025

Tuesday 2nd September- back to school (remember to bring your small toy for our bear hunt)

Wednesday 10th September- Our local trip to the park

PE

Year 1 have PE on a Wednesday and Friday.

Please come in wearing full PE kit on these days- please wear PE shoes without laces (unless you are able to tie your laces independently!). 

Year 1 pick up and drop off times

Year one can enter the classroom from 8:40-8:50. 

Pick up is at 3:20 from outside the classroom.  

Teachers must close doors at 8.50am in order to do the registers and transition children to begin important Phonics learning at 9am. Whilst we have an open door policy, in-depth conversations cannot be had in the morning, as it delays vital learning for all children. Parents are encouraged to make appointments for important conversations or wait until after all children have been collected, at the end of the day to have any necessary conversations with teachers.  Thank you.
