Hello Year 1! 

Please ensure children always have a water bottle, sun cream and sun hat in school at all times as the summer is approaching.

PE is on a Monday and Wednesday. Children will be sent home in their PE kit with their uniform in their bags.

At home, please keep reading with your child; it's important for them to be read to as well as to read.

Please can you make sure your child brings in their blue Partnership Book and Homework Book in everyday.

Thank you!

Maths

This week we will be focusing on fractions and looking at halves and quarters of numbers.

English

We are looking at the book The King who banned the dark by Emily Haworth-Booth. We will be writing a story describing how the Queen wants to ban silence.

Topic

Our topic this term is “Light Up the World” it is a thematic unit based around the sun and other sources of light, with a science focus. Pupils will look at solar power and how to save electricity, as well as learning about sun safety and the importance of protecting both the skin and eyes. They will also learn about how shadows are formed when solid objects block light. Nocturnal animals will also be introduced in this unit.
