Welcome to Y1/2!
I am Mrs Batson and this year will be teaching Year 1/2. Miss Johnson will also be in our classroom on a Thursday.
Across KS1 we will have Miss Bennett, Miss Billing, Miss Dubrovska and Miss Stevens who are all fabulous members of our support staff.
During this half term, in Maths we will begin to look at numbers within 100.
In English we will be looking at Nibbles the Book Monster and completing writing around this.
In History we will be learning about history within living memory.
In Geography, we will be learning all about Africa.
In Science we will be looking at the seaons.
During our Music sessions, we will be learning new songs and practicising for our nativity!
In RE we be learning about the religion of Christianity.
PE this half term will be on Mondays and Wednesdays. 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. Please just make a note of which page you have read up to on pageticker.
Phonetically decodable or banded reading books – these are changed every Tuesday and Friday. Don’t worry about reading a full book each day, reading a couple of pages each day will be great.
Please remember to read with your child as often as possible - ideally three times a week.
Any messages for school can be sent via school spider.
In addition to reading daily, we have Rainbow Challenges for KS1. These are challenges set for each half term. The ORANGE Rainbow Challenge has six different activities for you to complete before the end of the school half term. You can take pictures of you completing each activity and add it onto School Spider (Rainbow Challenges ORANGE autumn 2) or you can simply write a note to say which activities have been completed. If you have completed four or more of these challenges before the end of autumn 2, you will earn your ORANGE Rainbow Certificate.
If you ever have any concerns or want to discuss something, please email the school office, send a message via schoolspider or speak to me on the door at the end of the day.
We are so excited to help your children to continue to grow and flourish in this exciting half term of this school year!
Mrs Batson
