Year 1
-Learning Letter
Welcome back to the New Term! We hope you find this
letter informative. Please do not hesitate to contact your child’s class
teacher if you have any questions relating to the curriculum.
Homework:
Our expectation at Mead is that every child should
do the following every night:
- 15 minutes reading to
themselves or an adult and note in the reading record
- 15 minutes practicing
spellings
If children would like to
attempt an additional challenge, we have a new Learning Challenge for children
to attempt this Autumn Term which will follow shortly.
Spellings:
Spellings will be given out on Thursdays or
Fridays. The children should practice their words every evening. The test will
take place on the following Thursday.
Trips and experiences
On Monday 10th September the children will take
part in a superhero workshop at school. Next half term there will be a
trip to a place of worship. We will inform you of the date in due course.
Curriculum Information
We have included a summary
of the topics which the children will be covering this term. If you would like
to make any suggestions of what you or your child would like to learn in
relation to the topics taught, please complete the form attached and return it
to your child’s class teacher. We welcome any suggestions you may have.
Yours Sincerely,
Miss. Redgrave
