Four weeks left.....WHERE HAS THE TIME GONE?!

Hi all, hope you are all well and not feeling as emotional as I am that we only have 4 weeks left together!!

Firstly, I want to say that I am so incredibly proud of how amazing every child was in our class assembly!! I cannot believe how confident they were and how well they delivered their lines. I hope you all enjoyed it. We loved it!!

We have got an EXTREMELY BUSY four weeks ahead of us in the lead up to the end of the year. Next week we have;

Monday - Class photos (please make sure your children are looking presentable for these). An extreme bike show which I can't wait for!!

Wednesday - Mrs Long's Darts day where there will be a range of Dart's activities available across the day.

Thursday - Transfer day, where children will be going to their new class for the morning and meet their new teachers! Then in the afternoon it's sports day which starts at 2:10pm. All parents and carers are invited to join us (socially distanced). 

Friday - IT'S DANCE DAY!!!! This starts at 2:30pm. Parents and carers are invited to watch this (socially distanced).

If you have any questions about any of this please let me know. 

We have been lucky enough to also have a great volunteer in our classroom called Miss Cowls who is going to be a trainee teacher in Year 2 next year. She will be working between Year 1 and 2 for the rest of the year. We also have the amazing JoJo who has been virtually listening to our children read weekly.

Please can you make sure that all children are coming into school with sun hats and sun cream on when they weather is sunny and hot. Also, please can you ensure all children have their PE kits in school for Sports day!

As always, thank you for your continued support! Any questions, please catch me in the morning or afternoon or send me an email.

Class assembly

Hi everyone, I hope you've been enjoying the nice hot and sunny weather! 

There has been a bit of confusion over the class assembly so I thought a blog to clear it all up would be perfect. If you know there is a parent/carer who does not look at the blog please can you pass the information on. 

We ask for your child's costumes to be in tomorrow. Like I said in my last blog please do not go out and buy something new, utilise what you have at home. If you don't have anything then please let me know and we can find something from upstairs. 

The costume list is as follows;

David Attenborough group - Charlotte, Will W, Mina, Alek, Esme and Seth;

• Summer clothes 

• Brown, yellow, khaki colours

• Any hats would be good!

Charles Dickens group - Dylan, Kizzie, Josh K, Flo, Ralph and Mia;

• Black trousers and white top/shirt

• Waist coat if you have one

• Blazers will be provided from school

Neil Armstrong group - George, Josh H, Jacob, Jessica, Sarah and Molly;

• Space suits of costumes if you have them, if not silver/grey/glittery/sparkly clothes 

China group - Georgia, Xander, Flynn, Grace and Lucia;

• Red and yellow top and trousers

• Any china related clothes you may have

Samuel Pepys group - Ruby, Ellis, Malie, Will G and Reuben;

• Black trousers and white top/shirt

• Waist coat if you have one

• Blazers will be provided 

Captain Blackbeard group - Evie, Jack, Sennen, Imogen and Tabs;

• Pirate costumes if you have any. If not, red clothes, stripy tops, black trousers.

Thank you to those who have already brought in the costumes!

The assembly starts at 9:20 in the school hall. All parents and carers are invited to watch and I know you will love the assembly we have planned for you.

If you have any further questions or queries about costumes please email me this evening.

Just another reminder..home learning books are due back into school tomorrow as well as RWI books and library books!

Thank you as always for your support!

Arts and Wellbeing Week - Collecting Resources

  

Exciting News...

We will be having our Arts and Wellbeing Week from Monday 12th to Friday 16th July this year.

We have got lots of exciting, creative and mindful activities planned for the children and are collecting the following resources:

Interesting (clean) plastic waste such as:

 colourful bottles 

bottle tops

carrier bags

cord

string

nets

sheet

plastic 

lids

jars

beads, etc...

This will be built into a rather exciting art instillation in the hall.

Wool - Any type

If you have any of the above spare, please bring to the office where we will place a collection box.

We look forward to bringing you more news about this and more #InspiredToLearn weeks soon!

It's coming home and class assembly!

IT'S COMING HOME, IT'S COMING HOME, IT'S COMING, FOOTBALLS COMING HOME! 

Just a reminder that tomorrow is a non-school uniform day to celebrate the start of the Euro's. If your child has a football kit this would be ideal, if not any non-school uniform is great!

Also next week is our class assembly. This will be on Friday 18th June at 9:20 in the school hall. All parents and carers are invited and we will be following social distancing guidelines throughout. Please also ensure you are wearing a mask. 

Your children came home with their lines for the assembly. Please could you help the children to learn these or be confident with saying these aloud. Thank you!

I will also be sending home a costume list which I will add to the end of this blog. PLEASE do not buy anything new for this. See what you can rustle up at home. Any queries please let me know.

One more reminder..please can your children bring back their home learning books, any RWI books you may have at home and also library books. We seem to be missing lots of library books! Also, PE kits need to be back in school as well.

As always, any questions please see me at the classroom door or send me an email.

Thank you,

Miss White and the Year 1 Team x

Bike Mix Up - 10th June 2021

 

 Can you help?

We have had a bit of a bike mix up!  Someone has mistakenly taken the wrong bike home today from the bike shed.  It is a black and bright yellow/green Apollo bike.  If you have a bike of the same colour and model, could you please check as the missing bike has a child's name on it.  The twin bike is safe and sound at school!  We hope to swap them back tomorrow!

Many Thanks
