Welcome to Year One.

Mrs Bartlett and Mrs Andreou

We hope that you have had a fantastic Easter break and

you are ready for the Summer Term!

This term, Year 1 are diving into our exciting new topic:

'Oh I Do Like to Be Beside the Seaside'

From crashing waves to sandy shores, we will be exploring everything the seaside has to offer; past and present!

The children will become ocean explorers by learning fascinating facts about animals that live in the sea. From slippery seals to shimmering starfish, we will be exploring their habitats, what they eat, and how they survive in their watery world.

We will also be travelling back in time to discover the incredible true story of Grace Darling a brave young woman who became a national heroine in 1838 after rescuing survivors from a shipwreck during a fierce storm.

Throughout the topic, children will enjoy a mix of storytelling, fact-finding, creative writing and creating their own seaside themed fact files.

We can't wait to set sail on this summer adventure!

Please find our 'Curriculum Overview' and ‘Curriculum Letter’ attached as files to this page, explaining in detail what we will be covering in each subject this term.

Please log on to 'Google Classroom' for ongoing updates about class activities .

P.E will take place on a Wednesday (outdoor) for both classes and Tuesday (indoor) for Mrs Bartlett’s class and Friday (indoor) for Mrs Andreou’s class. Please ensure your child has their PE kits available on these days, short-sleeved t-shirt and shorts for indoor P.E. Warm trousers and t-shirt with pumps or trainers for outside P.E. They will also need to ensure earrings are removed and hair is tied back. Also, please make sure that all items of clothing and P.E. kit are clearly labelled with your child’s name so that items don’t get mixed up or lost.

If you have any questions or worries, please feel free to come and speak to us.

Thank you for your ongoing support.

Mrs Bartlett and Mrs Andreou
