 A message for the spring term  from Mrs Sayles and Mrs Bromley

Welcome back and Happy New Year!  We can’t believe that the first term is behind us – but what a busy and exciting half term it was!  Class 1 had so much fun learning via our topic ‘The Heat is on’ and the children have been so resilient in these uncertain times.  However, the most exciting thing of all has been getting to know a class full of amazing little people and watching them grow and make friends and memories that will last a lifetime.

The autumn term ended with our brilliant Nativity performance ‘The Bossy King’.  Again, this was different this year but I am sure you will agree that all our children are shining stars! We were so proud of all the children in class 1.   We also had lots of fun in the classroom making cards and calendars to celebrate the festive season. 

The spring term is now here!  Our topic focus is ‘Mega Structures’.  We will be thinking famous buildings and landmarks from all over the world.  We will explore maps, both UK and world and also enhance our history learning by thinking about Queen Victoria and how her life compares to that of our current Queen.  .  As always, we will be working hard while having lots of fun along the way.  

Literacy and maths will have strong links with our topic, along with all the enhancements in our areas of provision.  We will be reading stories such as the Three Little Pigs, The Three Billy Goats Gruff and on Sudden Hill.  To develop out knowledge and understanding of the world we will be exploring seasons in our Science lessons. 

Thank you for all your support over the autumn term.  We have lots to look forward to in 2021 – let the fun begin!

A few reminders:

PE is a Friday.  Please ensure your child comes to school in their PE kit on every Friday.
