Year 1 weekly update

Friday 25^th May 2023

Dear Parents/Carers,

We had a fantastic trip to Bude Library on Wednesday, the children learnt all about Bude library and where they can go to look for books. They also enjoyed a yummy Mr Whippy! They were so well behaved and the sun was shining, it was a great afternoon. In English, the children have been writing poems all about their 5 senses, they have created some beautiful poems. We are so proud!

Warmer weather

Now that we are finally starting to have some warmer weather, it is important to make sure that the children can enjoy the sunshine safely. Please send your child to school with a water bottle (water only) everyday, and a sun hat if needed. On hot days, please apply sun cream to your child before school. We recommend using an 8-hour sun cream that will give protection for the whole school day. Children should not need to reapply sun cream in school unless the weather is extremely hot. We will let you know in advance if we are planning to be outside for any long periods of time.

Lego club

Please see the document on our webpage advertising a Lego club at Bude Library. This will take place after school on Wednesday afternoons. There are still some places left.

Homework

Reading – please read your school reading books for 5-10 minutes, 5 times each week. Remember to record this in your reading log.

Maths – please play NumBots 3 times a week.

Spellings – please complete three spellings activities, from your purple spellings book, each week.

Bring a book from home

Each week we will ask a child from each class to bring in their favourite book from home to share with the class. We will inform you through our newsletter which child’s turn it is to bring in their book for the following week.

Next week:

Beau from Pine please bring your favourite book to school.

Arlo from Maple please bring your favourite book to school.

Have a lovely half term break, we will see you back in school on Monday 5^th June.

Mrs Harris and Miss Rich
