History Topic

This half term our history learning is to identify similarities and differences between modern toys. We are going to find out about how toys have changed since our grandparents were children.

Have a look at our knowledge organiser and our curriculum overview for this half term.

Values: The value that we are concentrating on this half term is Resilience. Who will be our champion? We need to continue to demonstrate our other values: Focus, Boundaries, Independence, Respect and Self-regulation. We are celebrating our in-class achievements using Class Dojo. As a class, we need to work together to achieve our class stars.  Remember to share with us any ‘Outside School Achievements’ as we love to hear about them and we will celebrate these in school!

Please try to ensure that an adult at home reads for a few minutes each day with your child as this will hugely improve the quality of their learning in all subject areas. Your child will bring home a sharing book and a Little Wandle book that is appropriately matched to your child’s reading ability. The child with the most reads at home each week will receive entries into the school book raffle where they can win a book!

PE: This half term, Year 1 have PE on a Monday and Thursday. PE kits needs to be in school on these day but it is recommended that it stays in school all week. Correct kit consists of a white t-shirt, black or dark shorts / leggings / jogging bottoms and trainers or plimsolls. Longer hair needs to be tied up and earrings removed or covered.

We look forward to continuing our Year 1 journey with you and your child. Please catch us on the door at drop off / pick up to have a quick chat or send us a message via Class Dojo.
