Term 1 update

Year 1 have made an AMAZING start to this academic year. The staff are so proud of them all for navigating the change from EYFS to KS1. We have explored the story the Night pirates this term and created our own versions (ask your child about what we changed!) We recapped key mathematical vocabulary from Reception and looking forward to moving onto addition and subtraction next term.

We learnt about the Untied Kingdom in Geography and key features including the flags, flowers and capital cities!

We wish you all a restful half term break and see you all in T2!

Term 2 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 Wednesdays 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.
