Term 6 update

What an exciting Term 6 we have had in Year 1! We have been exploring our story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears, we even performed it to parents in our year group assembly!

We have explored space, volume and capacity in Maths and looked at seasonal changes between Spring and Summer. The children put in a lot of effort into their learning this term and we were so proud of their resilience during the Phonics Screening Check. Well done Year 1!

The children loved our DT topic about Cooking and Nutrition - they loved cutting and preparing the smoothies we made, banana and strawberry flavour was a clear favourite! Maybe you could try making them at home over the summer break as a refreshing drink?

We wish you all a fantastic summer break and all the best with your new adventure in Year 2!

Term 1 Newsletter

All year one children will take part in a phonics screening check In June. Please see the link below with more information on what the screening check looks like. If you have any questions please feel free to speak to Mrs Smart / Mrs Woodland who lead phonics across the school. A parent guide to the Year one phonics screening check

Year 1 will have their PE lessons on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

For PE, children should wear their PE kits to school. PE kit includes: shorts, leggings or jogging bottoms that are plain and dark in colour - dark blue, black or grey. They should not have large logos on. Every child is given one coloured PE t-shirt when they start the school; subsequent PE t-shirts need to be purchased. The colour of the t-shirt represents the colour of the House every child is placed in: Cheng Ho (green), Estervanico (yellow), Sir Francis Drake (blue) and Louise Boyd (red).

Trainers are needed as footwear for PE and must also be a dark colour.

If you wish to contact the class teacher in regards to your child's learning, please do so on the class email addresses, these emails are monitored once a week during term time only. They are a useful way to share non-urgent but useful information that does not require an immediate response:

Miss Ella Yeeles paris@shirehampton-jun.bristol.sch.uk

For urgent matters either see the class teacher at the start or end of the school day or contact the school office.
