The focus will be for children to write questions, and narratives using the expected punctuation of a year 1 child, this includes practising a sentence aloud and writing it using a capital letters, conjunction and adjectives and the correct punctuation at the end of a sentence. Children will begin to use suffixes and prefixes in their writing.
Children will have daily phonics session to develop their decoding skills for reading.

This term P.E. will continue to be on a Wednesday afternoon. Children need to come to school wearing their PE kit. Can you ensure children do not wear any jewellery on this day. Every child is expected to participate in P.E, if for any reason they do not a written note is expected.

Black plimsolls or trainers (no high tops)
Black or grey or white socks
A plain blue, black or grey tracksuit – with no large logos or slogans.
PE bag
Please label all items of clothing including as this will avoid items being lost.
How can you help?
Listening and asking your child questions about their reading is the best support you can give your child during their school year. Children are expected to read at least 3 times a week. This will also ensure they meet the threshold for reading rewards.
Please ensure your child brings their reading record and reading book to school on Fridays and new books will be issued on Mondays as per school quarantine guidelines.
Regularly practising number bonds to 20 and counting one more and less, counting in 2s. 5s and tens. Logging on to numbots.
Helping your child practising spellings daily and revisiting previous spellings are all great ways to support your child with their learning outside of school as it will consolidate their learning in class.
Please label all items of clothing your child brings into school as this will help to return the items to their correct owner and therefore less lost property. As well as drink and lunch boxes.
Collection at the end of the day
I will dismiss each child individually once I have personally seen you or the adult collecting your child. Please ensure all adults collecting your child are aware of this procedure. This helps me recognise you and adults associated with your child. If another adult not listed on the ‘Responsible Adult Collection Form’ is collecting your child please notify the school, your child’s safety is of paramount importance to us.
Finally
If you have any queries or concerns then please do speak to me at the end of the school day once all children have been collected.
Kind regards
Ms Kaur
