Reading
"The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you will go!"
Dr Seuss
Literacy
Lists, Labels and Captions - can you find examples of these around your home? Maybe you could help your parents write a shopping list?

Our Foundation Curriculum
Year One is the beginning of our 'National Curriculum' journey. Here is what we are learning this half term.
Geography - Our School Grounds
We went looking for the different features of our school grounds. We have a pond!
Design and Technology - Food
We learnt about where apples come from. Did you know we have an apple tree in our school grounds? We did apple tasting and had a vote. Pink Lady was the winner!

PE Days
Tuesday and Friday. Please send your child to school in their PE kits on these days. Please send their uniform in their bag to change back into after their PE lesson if needed.
Daily Mile
Due to PE kits being kept at home for now, either send trainers with your child every day or they can just run in their shoes.
Reading Books
We are now sending two books home with your child every week. We change them every Friday.
Please continue to share other books at home or online with your child. You can leave a comment in their green book anytime about what you have been reading. It doesn't have to just be their school books.
Spelling
We will test spellings each week on a Friday. New spellings will then come home to practise for the next week. Please don't feel they have to be all done straight away or at the weekend. They can be done gradually over the week.
Homework
Homework will be set every Friday on Microsoft Teams. You are not expected to print off all the work-it can just be used as a reference.
There will be a reading task, a maths task and spelling words. Sometimes there may be an activity linked into the Foundation Curriculum, for example, Geography or Science.
Homework Book
Every child will have a homework book sent home. All work should be completed weekly in their book.
