Wow that was a very hot week. Despite this the children settled in very well. Here are just a few things we got up to
First week
Author: year1
Welcome to Year 1
Welcome to Year 1!
You’ll find below our learning overview for term 1 across all our subjects along with our Key Instant Recall Facts for maths this term. We are looking forward to our first term together and exciting learning ahead which we will share both on here and on ClassDojo.
PE this term will be on every Tuesday and Thursday. Please can you ensure your child brings their full PE kit into school at the beginning of the week with it clearly labelled. PE kit for all children: Navy shorts and white t-shirt, plimsolls/trainers and a pair of socks just in case. A navy blue tracksuit for colder weather. Further details can be found on the school website under Uniform.
The classrooms can get very warm, especially in the warmer weather. Please ensure your child has a clearly labelled water bottle with water within, everyday to keep them hydrated and able to learn.
As a reminder, the school day starts at 8:30am and ends at 3:15pm. Please aim to arrive at school at 8:30am as important Start Of The Day activities (SODA) take place during the time before worship and we would like all children to benefit from the maximum amount of learning time.
We can’t wait to get to know you all over the next few weeks. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact your class teacher via ClassDojo or at the classroom door.
The Year 1 team.

Creating Olympic Torches!
Boogie Bounce
Last week, years 4, 5 and 6 all got the opportunity to have a taster in boogie bounce. It looked like everyone had lots of fun, even the teachers who decided to take part as well! We were very lucky to have them come into our school and teach us different moves.
Sports hall Athletics
Last term Year 4 and 5 took part in a sports hall Athletics competition at the Marsh Academy. Both year groups did fantastically well and a team from each year group won their heats. They all showed great sportsmanship and tried their best in every event! Well done to everyone who took part.
Speed Stacking
Last term, Fox Class went over to The Marsh Academy and took part in a speed stacking event.
The children learnt how to speed stack and then competed against children from local schools.
All the children had great fun and learnt some great new skills as well!
Sports Crew Training
Earlier this term some children from year 5 and 6 went over to the Marsh Academy to train as Sports Crew members. The children looked at how to put on mini competitions during lunch times whilst developing children’s sporting skills. All the children had to plan an activity as a small group and then demonstrate and explain it to children from another school, before getting them to complete the activity and scoring them to find a winner! They discussed ways they could make the activity more challenging and less challenging for different ages and abilities.
The children are now keen to implement their new skills and will be supporting children on both KS1 and KS2 playgrounds at lunchtimes in the near future.
Keep an eye for photos of them leading these activities.
Red Ditty Books in Reception
Our Reception children have been working hard this term; learning to read their first Red Ditty books and write about the stories they have read.
They’ve been learning to teach and support each other with the help of their ‘stick of power’. We are really impressed with their enthusiasm and confidence that they show in the RWI sessions!
Well done for all your hard work Reception 🙂
Home RWI packs
These packs were discussed in our parent meeting this afternoon, if you would like to see a pack come and see Miss Common
Helping your child to blend sounds
Thanks so much to the parents who attended our blending session today, got involved and even practised their sounds!
Here is a video from Ruth Miskin all about blending.
We are holding a ‘speedy reading’ RWI session for those children who have begun their Red Ditty books in Reception on Friday at 9am
