Coming up this week in Year 1

 Hi all, I hope you've had a good weekend and are enjoying the sunshine today!

We have had such a good first week back after the half term and I am feeling so proud of how your children have settled back in after having some time off. 

It's been a busy week, but full of fun! World book day was on Thursday and every single child looked amazing in their costumes. Thank you! We were lucky enough to join a live call with author Catherine Rayner and even got to experience live drawing alongside her. In the afternoon we had jelly and ice cream, played pass the parcel and had some fun on a bouncy castle. On Friday we had an 'out of this world' experience in a Planetarium. We were learning all about the planets, stars and whats in space. This fit in so well our topic and all children were inspired and excited after this visit. 

Next week it is our class assembly on Friday (11.3.22). This has come around very quickly! Children will be coming home with their lines tomorrow. We are not expecting children to learn their lines as they don't have a lot of time. Please practice their lines at home to ensure they are confident to read these. Assembly will start at 9:15 on Friday in the hall. We hope you can make it! We also ask that you send children in with a red top sometime this week as this is what we will be wearing. Thank you in advance!

Tomorrow we have a cricket engagement day where the children will be taking part in a cricket workshop. Please can we ask that all children have their PE kits in school. We have a lot of them already but if you know your child doesn't have theirs in school please send them in. 

On Tuesday we are visiting the corn exchange to see a giant mars exhibit! We will be travelling to and from by coach. This will be such an exciting opportunity and again links in so well with our Space topic!

Please continue practicing spellings with your children, listening to them read and reading their lines with them for our class assembly.

If you have the opportunity please can you play this song to your children at home. This will be the song we are learning for our class assembly!
