Dear Parents and Carers,
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, they can complete the homework bingo (see attached sheet).
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
This half term the children will receive a visit from a real life
superhero - a local police officer. Next half term there will be a trip
to a place of worship. We will inform you of the date in due course.
Our first showcase of the year will take place on Friday 22nd
November. Further details will follow shortly.

We have included a summary of the topics which the
children will be covering this term. If you would like to make any suggestions
