Help us find our missing RWI books! 📚

 Dear Families,

We need your help! We are currently missing a large number of our Read Write Inc. (RWI) books, and we would be very grateful if you could have a look around at home for any school reading books that may have been forgotten or tucked away on a shelf.

Our RWI books are an important resource that help all children develop their reading skills. When books are not returned, it can mean that other children are unable to access the texts they need for their reading groups.

Please take a few minutes to check:

• Bookshelves and bedrooms
• Book bags and backpacks
• Under beds, sofas, or in the car
• Any places where reading books may have been put for safekeeping

If you find any RWI books, please send them back to school as soon as possible. There is no need to worry about how long they have been at home—we would simply love to have them returned so they can be enjoyed by other children.

Thank you for your support and cooperation. Together, we can help keep our reading resources available for everyone.

Happy reading!

Hello Again

Hi Year One Families!

I am delighted to be returning to school tomorrow following my period of recovery. I have really missed the children and am excited to get going again for a busy and exciting half term!

This term, in English, we will begin by focussing on Lost and Found by Oliver Jeffers and using the story as inspiration for writing fact files.

In Maths, we will be learning about Numbers to 100, Money and Time as well as recapping important areas of the Maths curriculum.

In Science we will continue our focus on Plants and in History we will be studying the History of The Prince of Wales School.

Our Art focus this half term is collage, and we will be learning about the artist Frida Kahlo. Please could you keep and donate any magazines or newspapers you have at home as we will need lots of these. 

The children will also enjoy Dance on Wednesdays, Forest School on Thursdays and PE on Fridays. Buckle up it's going to be a busy one!

A reminder that we have two trips coming up:

• Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens – Thursday 4th June
• Kingston Lacey – Thursday 11th June

Please refer to Arbour for details.

Please ensure children come to school with coats/hats/shoes etc appropriate for the weather on these days.

I am looking forward to a fantastic half term with the children and can't wait to see all the amazing learning they achieve.

Ms Evans
