Year 1 - Welcome to our Class Page - Summer Term 1

Please use this page to keep up to date with what we are learning about in Year 1.  We love learning and encourage learning at home.  Please support your children to use 'Mathletics', 'Reading Eggs' and 'Education City' to consolidate their learning outside of the classroom.  Each child has their own, personal logon and password details.

Our topics for Summer Term 1:

Geography - Mapping

DT - Using materials 

Science - Plants

RE - Judaism 

Please feel free to do some work and discussion around these topics at home.

Homework is given out each Friday and is expected to be returned the following Friday.  This is also the day when we have our weekly spelling test.  It is important that children have the opportunity to practice their spellings with an adult at home.

Book bags need to be brought to school every Monday, Wednesday and Friday so that books can be changed and reading records checked.  The weekly spelling test is every Friday, please practice the spellings at home with your child.

We will continue to have PE every Wednesday and Thursday.  Please make sure your child brings in their PE kit (plain white top and black bottoms).  Correct school uniform must be worn at all other times.  

As discussed during Spring 2 Parents' Evening, Year 1 will be having a phonics test.  This is made up of real and 'alien' (nonsense) words to test phonics and reading ability.  Examples of these words will be sent home for you and your child to practice regularly.  

If you have any questions, please speak with one of the Year 1 team.  Thank you.

If you would like more information about the curriculum SPSM follows, please ask your child's class teacher.  Thank you.
