What a lovely time we had with our children last week. The children have fully settled into life in Year 1 and we couldn't be prouder of them. Here are a few pictures of what we got up to!

This year, instead of Parent Information Evenings, we have made a welcome video and would like to invite you and your child to see their new classroom after school on Monday 14th September.

Last week, we sent home with the children their reading records and current reading book. Please make sure this book is returned by Thursday. 
 

We also sent home their word walls. We will be working on these with the children over a 2-week cycle.

Learning this week:

English - We will be writing a description of a character from '5 Minutes Peace'

Maths - We will learning to count forwards and backwards from 10 as well as identify the number of objects in a set.

Science - We will be learning to identify the 5 senses of the body. 

Computing - We will begin our computing unit by completing an E-Safety unit to remind us how to stay safe online.

Art - We will be sketching optical illusions inspired by Bridget Riley.

Phonics - We will be learning the sounds ee, ai, igh, oa, oo, oo, ar and or.

Worship Theme This Week:

Our worship theme this week is: New Beginnings

'Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.'

Hebrews 13:8
