Welcome to Autumn Term  2024!

This half term, our topic is Here we are!  We will be learning about different animals and what they need to live and grow. We will also be continuing our year-long study of the seasonal changes. We will reading class books written by Giles Andre. In art, we will be studying the works of different portrait artists and we will be using tone and colour. In computing, we will be learning about data and information grouping and continuing our online safety lessons through Project Evolve.  See below for all of our knowledge organisers and see what else we are learning!

A few little reminders...

• Your child will need a labelled water bottle in school every day.
• Mondays and Wednesdays are our PE days. Please come to school these days wearing PE kit and school jumpers/cardigans. Long hair needs tying back and earrings either removed or covered up for safety purposes.
• Your child will continue to receive a free piece of fruit every day and milk if you have signed up for it.
• If your child wants to order tuck then please ensure your Parent Pay account has adequate funds. If you do not wish for your child to have tuck, please let us know.
• We will change your child's reading books every Friday. They will need to bring all reading books and their diary into school every day. This will allow us to read with them when we can and change their books each Friday. 
• We cannot backdate the children's reading so please ensure they have their diary every Friday so they can be given their stars towards their reading pins. 
• Please check that all the children's items of clothing are labelled with their name.
• We have access to outdoor learning every day of the school year. Please ensure your child is prepared for the weather as we will not be able to let them go out if they are not suitably protected. They will also need a pair of wellies for outdoor play on the field (to be left in school). 

Keep up to date with Class 1A's learning
