Term 5 update
Despite a short term, we have had a jam-packed Term 5 with lots of exciting learning! We have been learning all about the story of the Bristol Giants and even one of them broke into our school on the first week back!
We have explored fractions, time and money in Maths; we created our own shop in the classroom, some of the children seemed to be great at trying to get the best out of the teachers! The children put in a lot of effort and patience into the learning about time - could you ask the children over the half term about what time you are doing things and they can help you time the time with an analogue clock!
We also enjoyed our plant topic where we planted our own sunflowers and made our own Roman coins inspired by our history lessons on Britain a long time ago.
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 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:
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.
