Welcome to Year 1! I am really looking forward to working with you and your child. I know we are going to have a brilliant year!
Our Curriculum for this half-term
Our main themes for this first half-term will be ‘Down the Rabbit Hole’ and ‘Me and My Town’. In English we will be following our RWI scheme. In Maths we will be working on our understanding of number, place value and position. In R.E we will be learning about all about Harvest and the difference in our world and Jesus’ world. You can find our curriculum map with more information about our exciting year on the Rabbits’ class page, which is located on the school website.
Support in Class
We are very lucky to have Mrs Woodcock and Miss Still working in the White Rabbits class.
P.E
Our P.E sessions are on Tuesday and Thursday each week. One session each week will be taught by a specialist coach and the other will be taught by myself. Please ensure children have their P.E kit in school on these days. Please provide a note or speak to school if your child is unable to do P.E, otherwise children will be expected to join in.
Reading
Children will have daily reading to an adult during our Read Write Inc. sessions. Home reading books can be accessed online from the Oxford Owl website (see information handed out for login details.) Once your child can confidently read the book they have been practising in class, they will bring a slip home to inform you which book they should be reading at home. It is important for your child’s comprehension skills that they read books more than once.
School Website Our class webpage will be regularly updated throughout each half term so you can see all the exciting things that White Rabbits get up to over the course of the year.
Snack
Toast is 20p per day. If you would like your child to have toast, please bring £1 in on Monday for that week. Fresh fruit is also provided each day Children have access to water throughout the day however they are more than welcome to bring in a water bottle with their name on.
If you have any concerns or queries, please contact the school office to arrange an appointment.
Many thanks for your support, Miss Rowat, Mrs Woodcock and Miss Still
