Year 1

Happy New Year! We hope you had a lovely Christmas and are all ready for 2018.

Just like last half term, the classroom door will be open at 8.55am and will close for school to begin at 9.00am. Please ensure your children arrive on time each day so they can have a speedy, focussed start to learning. Anyone arriving after 9am needs to come in through the office rather than the classroom door.

This term, we will be starting our exciting topic of “Where the Wild Things are”. This will feed through our Science, Geography, Art and Literacy.

In Literacy, we will be reading the story “Where the Wild Things are” by Maurice Sendak before writing our own version. We will then be creating our own animal themed riddles.

In Maths Year 1 will be:

• Addition and subtraction to 20
• Place value to 50

In Science, Year 1 will:

• Identify and name common animals including fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals.
• identify and name a variety of common animals that are carnivores, herbivores and omnivores
• describe and compare the structure of a variety of common animals

If you have any problems, concerns or questions please do not hesitate to see one of us before school at 8:55am, after school at 3.30pm or, if this is not convenient or it’s a bigger issue, by making an appointment with your child’s class teacher.
