Dear Parents/Carers,

A very warm welcome back to our final term of Year 1! This half term, we will be focusing on the topic 'Once upon a time'. Within this topic, we will be learning about castles. We will also be looking at Queen Elizabeth II as our significant person, learning about her life, her family and the importance of her work.

Reading / Phonics

Phonics lessons are taught for 30 minutes everyday. The children read books linked to the sound we are learning in phonics and a new book will be sent home every week. Please ensure you are listening to your child read daily (little and often works best).

Please make sure that your child has their P.E kit in school, with all items named. Your child should have a plain t-shirt, shorts and daps/trainers. As the weather turns colder, you may wish to provide trousers and a long sleeved top as well.
