Welcome to Rabbit Class!

We hope you all had a restful and joyful Christmas break. We can't wait to hear all about what you got up to and we wish you all a happy and healthy new year.  

In English, we are going to be reading 'The Comet' by Joe Todd-Stanton for the first three weeks. There will be exciting props to explore and discover and the children will be writing their own versions of the narrative. We will then go on to read 'Astro Girl', by Ken Wilson-Max to further explore a space theme. The children will be creating their own guides about how to be an astronaut. 

In Maths, we will be focusing on place value and moving on to numbers up to 20. The children will practise counting and representing numbers in their tens and ones. We will move onto addition and subtraction. At the end of each units we will continue to complete end of unit assessments, which we will send home for you to see how they are doing in their learning. We are happy to discuss these if you have any queries or concerns. The children should be proud of the ones they have completed so far! 

In Year One, our foundation subjects continue to be taught in the afternoon. Music, PSHE and PE are all taught weekly.  Our afternoon learning this half term will start with History, with the topic that away captures the children's interest, 'The Great Fire of London'.  We will also have topics covering Computing, RE, Art and Science. The science topic is all about Humans, learning body parts and exploring senses and we will focus on the religion of Judaism in RE. 

Please feel free to talk to us before or after school on the playground if you have any questions.

General reminders:

Our PE lessons are on Friday afternoons. We will also be visiting the Library on Fridays and the children need to bring their library books in then so that they can choose a new book.

Please bring reading books to school every day - we will normally change them on a Monday.

With the weather now feeling a lot colder, please send your child in with a coat.
