Things to remember..
Reading Books
Reading books can be changed daily, but only if an adult has signed to say that their child has read and has finished their reading book.
Children are to remember to put any books that need changing into the 'reading book changing box'.
If they are not put into the box in the morning they will be changed on the following day.
My book recommendations for Spring 2
- Mixed Up Fairy Tales by Hilary Robinson & Nick Sharratt
- Ladybird Tales of Adventurous Girls
- Revolting Rhymes by Roald Dahl
- Usborne Illustrated Traditional Stories
- The Once Upon a Time Map Book by B G Hennessy and Peter Joyce
My book recommendations for Summer 1
Any of Beatrix Potter’s books. For example:
- The Tale of Benjamin Bunny
- The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck
- The Tale of Mr. Tod
- The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin
- The Tale of Tom Kitten
Spelling Folders
Spelling folders will be sent home every Friday. The spellings should be learnt at home throughout the week for the test on the following Friday. Ideas for how to help learn spellings have been sent home and can be found below on this page.
Spelling folders will need to be handed back in every Friday, so new words can be added for the following week. (Hand in Friday – back out the same Friday).
Snack time
Snack time takes place at morning playtime. The snack consists of a vegetable or a piece of fruit. If your child does not like the snack provided by school, a piece of fruit or vegetable snack can be sent in from home. If your child receives school milk, this will also be consumed at snack time. If your child does not receive school milk, they can have a drink from the water bottle they have brought from home.
Water bottles
Children are allowed to bring water bottles into school. They will be kept in a box by the sink and the children will have access to them throughout the day.
Handwriting
In Year 1 we are improving our presentation by learning to use cursive handwriting. An alphabet strip can be accessed below, showing you how we form the letters when writing.
P.E.
P.E. days are Tuesday & Thursday. Children should have their full PE kits in school at all times - as per letter attached.
Phonics
The majority of phonics taught in Year 1 will be phase 5.
