Term 2

Term 2 is 'The Most Wonderful Time of the Year'!  We will begin rehearsing for our Year 1 Christmas play in the coming weeks.  The children will be given a costume suggestion and possibly some lines to learn from our script.  

This term, the children will experience their first Art lessons in our new Art studio.  On Wednesdays, both Year 1 classes will alternate between Art, Forest School and PE.  History will take the children on a journey back in time to learn all about the Victorian era and what life was like compared to life today.  

Check out our curriculum overview in the link at the bottom to find out more about our learning journey this term.

Homework 

Are you working towards your 25 reading band?  Or maybe even your 50 reading band?  Well done to the children that have managed to read 25 days this term.  We look forward to getting more again in Term 2.  

In Term 2, our book change day will be on a Friday!  Please make sure your child has their zippy wallet in school on this day so that they can change their book.  If your child does not bring their previous book back, we cannot hand out a new one.
