Class 1L made a great start to the year and we are excited for all the learning to come this term. Please feel free to come and speak to any of us if you have any questions about your child and their learning. We look forward to working together in partnership.

English

Spoken Language: We will encourage your child to speak articulately and in full sentences. There will be plenty of opportunities in the curriculum for the children to talk and become confident speakers to different audiences.

Reading: Your child will be heard to read at least 3x a week. Depending on their reading age this could happen through an individual reading book, a guided reading session or a shared class read.

How can you help? Reading with your child for 5—10 minutes everyday will make a difference. Send in planner EVERY DAY.

Spelling:

These will be sent home weekly and the children will be tested the following week.

Handwriting: We have high expectations with how our children present their learning. Please encourage your child to practise their handwriting. Attached is a copy of our handwriting formation.

Writing: The focus will be:

Stories from different cultures

Stories in familiar settings

Poetry

At the end of Year One there will be a Phonics Screening Check—more information will be

provided in due course.

The Pursuit of Greatness has begun. These are our school values. The children will regularly ask questions to further their understanding of these.
