Year 1
Welcome to Year 1 – Term 2
Welcome back to a busy and bustling Term 2!
This term, we have so many exciting learning adventures including rehearsals for our Christmas performance. As the weather changes , please do continue to ensure your child has a change of clothes in case of wet weather and a PE kit in school. Wellies can be left in our trolley too and your child can wear these at playtime should you so wish. Please note, PE will be on Tuesdays and Thursdays in Term 2.

Spellings
Please download and print as required.
This term, children will all be sent home with a set of Common Exception Words to practise. Children will need to spell these words correctly in their test and also consistently in their writing book before they move on to the next set. If your child is able to consistently use these spellings in tests and their books they will then move to the next set. If they complete all Year 1 spellings, they would move on to Year 2 spellings. We will continue with this until the end of the year. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask a member of the team.
