A caring place to Learn and Grow

Year 1

WEEKLY OVERVIEW WC 22.04.24

WEEKLY OVERVIEW WC 15.04.24

Hello, Year 1, 

 

Welcome back to the Summer 1 term! This term our topic is 'Africa' and we are going to make African masks and fruit kebabs! We hope that you will enjoy all the special lessons that we planned.

 

Remember to read every day, because reading makes you smarter. Please ask your adults to write in your Reading Record after you have read. yes

 

We have decided to share the following information with you to ensure that everybody knows what is expected.

 

PE-NEWS

Our children enjoy PE and it would be fantastic if all PE bags and PE clothes are labelled so that we can identify items that may get lost or put accidentally into the wrong bag. Please could you also make sure that hair is tied up and earrings are removed on PE days? Your child will be having PE on the following days:

Mrs Bennett's class -  Mondays and Tuesdays

Mrs Cranstone's class - Mondays and Wednesdays

 

Show and Tell

Children can bring ONE item to school on a Friday to discuss with the class. 

Friday        26.04.24 - Ruby

Friday        03.05.24 - Amber

Friday        10.05.24 - Emerald

Friday        17.05.24 - Sapphire

 

Please send the Show and Tell item in a carry bag. 

 

Year 1 email address

Please remember that parents can contact teachers at any time by using the following email address: year1@greatberry.essex.sch.uk. As teachers are obliged to read email messages sent to the Year 1 address at least once a week, parents are advised to communicate absences, doctor's appointments, and other matters that need immediate attention to the office email address.

 

Snack time in school

We have a small snack every morning before we go out for playtime at 10:15 a.m. The school provides a piece of fruit, but children do not always like the fruit on offer. Parents are welcome to send a piece of fruit to school for snack time. Please note that crisps, chocolates, biscuits, or any other sugary food are not allowed as we strive to teach children to enjoy a healthy snack.  Raisins and dried fruit will be acceptable. Could you please limit the size of the snack as we only have 5 minutes available for snack time?

 

Homework

Children have a Homework Book as well as a folder for Maths sheets. Homework will be available every Thursday. We will post a Weekly Overview document so that parents will know what we will be learning in a specific week as well as the homework. Parents will be able to see this document online on the Great Berry Primary School website when clicking on the Year 1 Class Page option. English homework will normally be done in the Homework Book and Maths homework will be a sheet that we will put into the Maths folder. Please return the Homework Book on a Tuesday so that it can be marked before the new homework activities are scheduled.

 

Reading

Children are encouraged to read daily to their parents/carers and reading books will be exchanged once a week. Please write the date that children are reading to parents/carers in the reading diary as well as a short note about their reading.

 

Barnaby Bear

Last Friday Barnaby Bear went home with one child in each class. We know that he will have an exciting time with the children this year. If your child receives Barnaby for the weekend, please send it back on Monday so that it can be ready on a Friday to go to a different child. There is a book in the Barnaby Bear bag, and it will be great if children can write/draw pictures of the things that he has been doing. 

 

We look forward to a wonderful half term with all our Year 1 parents/carers and children!

Dear Parents of 1CC,

 

I have posted photographs of our wonderful Jubilee Celebration, Sports Day and our visit to the Southend Sea Life Centre. I hope you are enjoying the beautiful photos of your children. Apologies if there isn't a photograph or limited photographs of your child. The images of some of the children in our class are not permitted on social media. Although I took numerous photographs of all children I was not able to post everything as I had to delete photographs containing images of these children.

 

Kindest regards,

Mrs Cranstone
