Hi Year 1!

We have been learning to tell the time to o'clock this week, so please ask your child to tell the time at home; telling the time to the half-hour comes next.  We've also had our last spelling test. Well done to all those who have learnt their tricky words this year. Please keep reading with your child; it's important for them to be read to as well as to read, and a lovely way to bond together.

Thank you!

Mrs Mitchell and Mrs Miller

This term, we will be studying growth and development of living things. We will be growing sunflowers and measuring their growth. We will also be watching the magnificent metamorphosis of caterpillars as they turn into butterflies. We will make comparisons between the life cycles of birds, amphibians and butterflies.
