Reading Books
Please can you ensure that your child brings their reading book to school with them everyday. This allows us to listen to your child read more frequently. Books will be changed on Wednesdays and Fridays.
Please try to listen to your child reading for at least 5-10 minutes each day. Sharing a book at bedtime or reading a story to your child will help them develop a love for reading!
Homework
Children have the opportunity to complete activities from the topic homework menu. These activities link to the learning we will be doing in class that half term.
Physical Education
PE days are Wednesdays and Thursdays and children will need to wear their PE kits to school on those days so that they can get changed into them. PE kit should consist of a navy or white t-shirt and navy shorts or navy/black tracksuit bottoms or leggings. Children will need pumps or trainers because we will be outside as much as possible. Please ensure the children do not wear jewellery for school on PE days as it has to be removed.
and finally....
If you have any questions about Year 1 and the things we do, please come and talk to either Miss Horigan or Mrs Tweed.

In Science, we had some special visitors come into our class from the Visual Impaired Team. They explained to us what it would be like to lose our sense of sight. We had a go at using a braille machine, looking at braille and trying to complete some activities without using our sight.
