This half term we are looking at being me in my world. We are exploring how we relate to the world around us and how we can be a brilliant, kind and proud friend.
In writing, we are focusing on some of our key writing skills like letter formation, handwriting and sentence structure.
In maths, we are looking at numbers within 10 through counting objects and comparing different numbers.
In science, we are looking at our senses. We are learning the names for different parts of our bodies and thinking about how they help us.
Our focus is RHSE. We are thinking really carefuly about our relationships with others at school and what we can do to make sure that everyone is happy and getting along.
Our P.E lessons take place on a Wednesday and a Thursday. Please ensure your child comes into school in their P.E kit on those days each week. Also, please ensure your child has a water bottle in school everyday.
Please read as much as possible at home and log your reads onto the Boomreader app.
If you have any questions, please email the school office or speak to a member of staff on the door.

Year 1 phonics screening check support
Phonics Screening Check – Week Commencing 9th June
In Year 1, children will take part in the Phonics Screening Check in June. The Phonics Screening Check is a statutory assessment designed to provide teachers and parents with information about how your child is progressing in phonics.
The Phonics Screening Check consists of 40 words for your child to read aloud. Twenty of these are real words and twenty are ‘alien’ (nonsense) words, which are used to assess your child’s ability to apply their phonics knowledge independently. Children who do not meet the expected standard in Year 1 will have the opportunity to retake the check in Year 2.
Parents will be informed of their child’s outcome by the end of the school year.
Your child will complete the check with a teacher they know in a calm, friendly, and supportive environment. There is no need for the children to worry, as plenty of praise, encouragement, stickers, Dojos, and time are given to help them feel confident and to show off how brilliant they are at phonics.
Attached are some guidance materials from Little Wandle (the phonics scheme we use), along with previous phonics screening papers and government guidance for you to look through and use at home.

Please keep reading with your child and putting their reads onto the Boom Reader APP. If you have any questions then please ask your child's class teacher. 🙂
