PE

PE for Year 1 this term is on Monday and Wednesday afternoons. 

On both these days, children come into school wearing their PE kit. They do not need to bring uniform to change into.

Monday is indoor, Tuesday is outdoor.

Reading in School

In school, we teach reading daily using Read Write Inc (RWI). More information regarding this can be found on the RWI school website page or on the Ruth Miskin website copied below.

Phonics - Read Write Inc

Reading at Home

• Reading books will be changed every Monday unless the children have not read the book.
• Children should be encouraged to read their book at least 3 times a week and this should be recorded in their reading record.
• The children will bring home a RWI book and a book of their choice for reading for pleasure.
• Please find attached below a list of reading questions you can ask your child to promote discussions about what they are reading. This will help to improve their fluency, recall,  retrieval and inference skills.

History

In history, we are learning about Mary Anning- a pioneering fossil hunter whose discoveries helped shape our understanding of prehistoric life. Her work along the Jurassic Coast highlights the importance of curiosity, perseverance, and scientific discovery. The children have been busy creating a timeline of her life and have made their own dinosaur fossils using playdoh.
