Welcome to our Chick class page!

Class Teacher: Mrs Kershaw

Topic: Come Outside

During this topic we will look at the world outside of the classroom. We will be learning about plants and growing our own seeds. We will also look at healthy eating, the lifecycle of a butterfly and minibeasts.

PE: 

Chick Class will do PE on Mondays. We are lucky to have an outside PE coach to come in and help deliver our PE this half term. Please make sure children have a clean, labelled PE kit in school ready for this.

Year 1 Phonics Homework:
Please see the attached phonics sheets below called 'Summer Term 1' Each week's phonics sounds have been organised into a weekly practice sheet. Please practice these at home each week.

Homework:

All children should be reading 5 times a week and spending at least 10 minutes a week on the numbots math game. 

There are some activity sheets attached in pdf format below, if your child would like to practise some written work:

Exploring outside:

We spend a lot of time in our outdoors area. It would be great if the children can bring in their own wellies and rain coat to be kept at school.

Show and tell:

I would love to celebrate achievements that the children are proud of during Show and Tell time.
Please instead of bringing in toys, which could get lost or broken, can I encourage the children to bring in things they have made (pictures, stories, cards, etc.) , certificates or medals from clubs or any other achievements. Thank you
