Welcome to 1R

Your class teachers are Ms Rice and Mrs Knowles.

Our theme this half term is ‘At the End of the Pier’.

Welcome back after a lovely half term break. Our final half term in Year One is all about the seaside. We will be learning about what Victorian people did on their seaside holidays, what they wore and where they went. We will take a trip to Morecambe beach and play games that people played in the past. We will also have ice cream and a cone of chips, of course!

We have begun this week with a bang! It is Art Week at Ryelands and in Year One we are learning about the artist Cornelia Parker, who is famous for her sculpture of an exploded shed and its contents. Keep a look out for our artwork on our class blog.

PE

PE in 1R is on a Tuesday morning with Mr Hyde. Please make sure that your child has a labelled PE kit in school every week.

Reading

We love to read in 1R. We encourage the children to read every night at home. When they have finished their book, we recommend that you ask them questions about the book. We will change books three times a week. In Key Stage 1 we have a 100 book challenge. Each time your child reads at home, sign their reading record and we will fill in a square on the challenge sheet. Your child will receive prizes the more they read.

We are very happy to speak to you if you have any concerns about your child’s learning.
