Welcome back! We hope you all had a lovely Christmas and we wish you a Happy New Year.

We have already settled quickly back into our routines and are really enjoyed Arts Week to begin the new term. We will then be diving into our new theme of ‘Dream Big, Reach High’. During this topic we will be finding out about Florence Nightingale and Mary Seacole and how they changed the face of nursing, while also thinking about our own aspirations and goals. We are very much looking forward to our class trips to Fort Nelson to learn even more about Florence Nightingale. Please take a look on the school website, on the Year 1 page, for the half term curriculum overview.

Homework and Reading
Thank you to the children who complete their weekly homework. We enjoy celebrating homework in our class.
It is noticeable that children who regularly carry out homework tasks are transferring their knowledge to their class work. We will continue to set homework on a Friday, to be completed by 5pm, the following Thursday. Please also remember to write on the home reading records when your child reads at home.

Library and Home Reader Collection day is Wednesday.
Children will then bring home their new library book and home reader on the Friday.

After February half term our learning theme will be ‘Poles Apart’ and our curriculum overview is available HERE.

Thank you for your continued support,

Mrs Cryer, Mrs Eades and Miss Garland
