Term 2 update
We have done so much this term! We have enjoyed improving our touchpad skills with digital drawing on the chromebooks. We've been doing lots of practical maths to help us understand addition and subtraction to 10.
We've been writing about The Gruffalo and our own version of the story - The Buffalo! We did an experiment on transparency as part of our Materials topic in Science. We've also loved learning all about the Gunpowder Plot!
The children have really settled in and are learning so much! We look forward to continuing after the Christmas holidays and hope you have a restful break. Thank you for all your support so far, Year 1 Team.
Term 1 update
What a busy term! We had a fantastic trip to the M Shed as part of STEM Week which was great fun!
We also did some Pirate Themed experiments - cleaning coins from the bottom of the ocean and exploring different materials as part of our Science topic.
We have done lots of practical maths learning; exploring and deepening our understanding of numbers to 10 and growing in confidence in our number formation.
The children have made a fantastic start to Year 1 and can't wait to continue after half term. We wish you all a great half term break and thank you for your continued support. The Y1 Team.
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/Ms 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 get changed in school and wear 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:
Mx Charlie Livingstone barcelona@shirehampton-jun.bristol.sch.uk
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.
