Welcome to Year 1 Welcome back to school Year 1. We hope you had a fantastic summer and are ready for an exciting year of learning ahead. We have lots of fun learning opportunities planned for you throughout the year and we are looking forward to getting to know you all. Please remember to bring your bookbag each day, with your reading books inside. You will take home two reading books each week and these will usually be swapped at the beginning of each week. It's really important that you practice reading your book every day at home. You should also have your spelling book and a Read Write Inc book in your bookbag. Every Friday, you will be given a new Read Write Inc book and new spellings. You will have a test on a Friday for the spellings from the previous week. Please also remember to bring a named water bottle with you. PE days for 1EH are Wednesdays (outdoor) and Thursdays (indoor). PE days for 1AA are Thursdays (indoor) and Fridays (outdoor). On these days, you should come to school dressed in your PE kit which you will stay in all day. If you have any questions, then please ask one of us.

18.09.23 Art- Sketching self-portraits We have had a fantastic afternoon sketching our self-portraits! We began by sketching a practice portrait using guidelines to show us where our facial features should go, followed by sketching without guides. We used varied pencil pressure to add detail and we used a mirror to ensure we use the right shapes for our features. The end results were impressive!  |
