A very warm welcome to year 1!

For Autumn 2, we will be looking at the stories of The Jolly Postman. We will be looking at the different letters written throughout the book, as well as writing our own responses.

Please note: PE is on a Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

Maths homework

This year we will be handing out maths booklets based on the work we have been doing in class. These will go out on a Monday and returned the following Monday.

Reading homework

The reading challenge. The children need to read at least four times a week for ten weeks to receive their reading badge at the end of the term. Please record when you read in the Partnership book as then we know when to change the book.

Books will be changed and sent home on a Monday and a Thursday. Please ensure that your child is being questioned on what they are reading to encourage their comprehension skills. Children are also to encouraged to use expression while reading. If you would like to read books from home as extra reading with your child please do so:)
