Welcome to Y1SS!
I am Mrs Saphier and this year will be teaching Year 1. Across KS1 we will have Miss Bennett and Mrs Dandy who are all fabulous members of our support staff.
During this half term, in Maths we will continue to exploring calculation strategies and furthering our number knowledge of numbers within 50.
In English we will be looking at the story of Beegu and completing writing around this.
In History we will be learning about landmarks in Rainhill.
In Geography, we will be learning all about our world, incuding the seven continents and the five oceans.
In Science we will be looking at seasonal changes and weather charts.
During our Music sessions, we will be learning our new song 'Your imagination'.
In RE we be learning about the religion of Hindu Dharma.
PE this half term will be on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Please ensure your child comes to school in their PE kit on these days.
In KS1 we have three different books that are sent home.
Reading for Pleasure books – these are sent home on Monday and returned on Friday. These are books that are to be shared as a family, at bed time, before tea or just snuggled up on the sofa.
RWI books – these are sent home on Monday and returned on Friday. These are phonetically plausible books that are chosen specific in line with your child’s phonic knowledge.
Phonetically decodable or banded reading books – these are changed every Tuesday and Thursday. Don’t worry about reading a full book each day, reading a couple of pages each day will be great. Please just make a note of which page you have read up to.
Please remember to read with your child as often as possible - ideally three times a week. School planners are checked daily for any messages.
In addition to reading daily, we have Rainbow Challenges for KS1. These are challenges set for each half term. The BLUE Rainbow Challenge has six different activities for you to complete before the end of the school year. You can take pictures of you completing each activity and add it onto School Spider (Rainbow Challenges Blue Summer 1) or you can simply write a note in your child's planner to say which challenge they have completed. If you have completed four or more of these challenges before the end of Summer 1, you will earn your BLUE Rainbow Certificate.
If you ever have any concerns or want to discuss something, please make a note in your child’s planner or email the school office.
We are so excited to help your children to continue to grow and flourish.
Mrs Saphier
