Term 2 update

Year 1 have had a jam-packed term full of learning. We have explored The Gruffalo this term and created our own versions (ask your child about what we changed!) We focused on addition and subtraction this term and begun focusing on numbers to 20. This is something will continue looking at in the new year. We also made puppets in DT, learntabout the Gunpowder Plot in History and who could forget our fantastic trip to the pantomime or our visit from Avon Fire and Rescue Service!

We wish you all a restful Christmas break and see you in T3!

Term 3 Newsletter

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 / Mrs 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 Tuesdays and Thursdays.

For PE, children should wear their PE kits to school. PE kit includes: 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:

Ms Ashleigh Moodley 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.
