Welcome back to the spring term!
We are excited to continue our exploration of the concept of Life, focusing on the question, “To what extent should we consider the impact of ourselves on others?” Last term, the children developed their understanding of how their choices affect themselves, both positively and negatively. This term, we will extend this thinking to consider the broader implications of their actions on others and the importance of morality.
To support your child’s reading development, each child will bring home a reading book for structured practice. It is our expectation that children read at home at least three times a week. If your child encounters difficulties in meeting this expectation, please do not hesitate to reach out for support and advice.
Please remember that PE lessons are scheduled for Wednesdays and Fridays. For safety reasons, ensure that earrings are removed before participating in physical activities, or parents may apply tape over earrings, as staff are not permitted to remove them. Additionally, labelling your child’s uniform is crucial, and children must bring a labelled water bottle each day.
The Year 1 class staff are as follows:
- Teacher: Ms Brooks
- Teaching Assistants: Miss Jordan & Mrs Butt
- Learning Support Assistant: Mrs Mclellan & Miss Weiss
We are also pleased to welcome Miss Lawrence, our trainee teacher this half term.
Should you have any concerns, please feel free to speak with us. Appointments can be arranged after school or, if necessary, on the same day.
We look forward to an engaging term filled with exciting learning experiences for your child!
Dates to Remember:
- Wednesday & Friday – PE
- Three times a week – Reading and practising ten, five, and two times tables.
Theatre Trip: Cat in the Hat at Norwich Playhouse
Year 1 had the fantastic opportunity to see The Cat in the Hat at the Norwich Playhouse theatre. This trip provided the children with a valuable experience of attending a live performance, allowing them to explore the etiquette of sitting quietly throughout a show and appreciate the art of live drama.
We believe it is essential to provide children with opportunities that support their engagement with the arts and expose them to experiences they may not otherwise encounter. The children had a wonderful time and demonstrated beautiful manners and behaviours throughout the duration of the performance.
We are proud of their enthusiasm and respect for the theatre environment, which reflects our commitment to fostering a love for the arts.
