Sunshine

WELCOME!

We hope that you all had a great Christmas break and are looking forward to the new year ahead.

Our topic is ‘All Dressed Up’. For our wow day on Monday 7th January 2019, we will be dressing up in our favourite clothes or cultural outfits. Please find below the outline of what we will cover during the topic, the new learning log objectives and spellings for this half term.

This term Sunshine classes will be attending Forest School with Mrs Roads every Wednesday (you will receive an email with more information regarding this). Each Sunshine class will have half a term at forest school, this will be as follows:

Sunshine 1 – Spring 1

Sunshine 2 – Spring 2

Best wishes,

Miss Purdy, Mrs Williams and Mrs Bennett

HOMEWORK

Reading books will be changed on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

We are always after some helping hands, if you are able to spare some time to hear readers please let your child’s teacher know and we can arrange this.

Learning Logs: At the beginning of each half term a list objectives will be posted below. Please choose one to complete each week. There are more objectives than the number of weeks so you have a wide range of activities and subject areas to choose from.  If you would like to support your children at home, these objectives have been provided for that purpose but there is certainly no pressure to complete them.

The objectives are linked closely to the work covered in class during the half term. The Learning Logs will be sent home each Thursday. If your child has completed one of the objectives that week please bring it in the following Tuesday so we are able to mark them before they are sent out again!

PE

PE days for each class are as follows:

Sunshine 1: Tuesday and Wednesday

Sunshine 2: Tuesday and Wednesday

We will try to go outside when the weather permits so please ensure your child has a pair of tracksuit bottoms and a sweatshirt / fleece in a dark colour for the winter months.

Outdoor Learning

We do lots of outdoor activities throughout the year so please provide your child with a pair of named wellies which we will keep outside of the classroom on our welly rack for easy access.

We hope the children have enjoyed their first half term in Sunshine Class, if you have any questions or concerns please feel free to speak to any of the Year One team.

Best wishes,

The Sunshine Team
