Hello Sunshine Classes!
We had a great wow day on Friday to start our ‘Out and About’ topic. We will put some photos in the gallery section of the website this week showing you what we got up to!
The children have settled well into the new routines of their Sunshine Class. Please look at the power point presentation below showing an introduction to Year 1, and what we will be learning through the year.
Our topic for Autumn 1 is called ‘Out and About’. Please see the topic web below for an outline of what we will be learning.
Spellings
Here are the spellings we will be learning this half term. Any practise you can do at home as well will be beneficial.

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 to the work covered in class during the half term. Your child’s learning log book will be sent home in the first full week back at school.
Who is in our team?
Sunshine 1 – Mrs Nickless (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday) and Mrs Williams (Thursday and Friday) are your teachers and Mrs Taourit and Mrs Suska work with you in class each day as well.
Sunshine 2 – Mrs Roads (Monday) and Miss Hawes (Tuesday – Friday) are your teachers and Mrs Kirby and Mrs Cartmell work with you in class each day as well.
Reading
Bookbags will need to be brought into school daily and we will issue 3 books each week for your child to read at home.

PE
PE days for each class are as follows. Your child will be required to come to school in their PE kit and wear it for the day.
Sunshine 1: Tuesday and Friday
Sunshine 2: Monday and Tuesday
We will go outside for PE when the weather permits so please ensure your child wears a pair of tracksuit bottoms and a sweatshirt / fleece in a dark colour for the colder weather.
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.
Our class email addresses are below. Please use these for non-urgent queries and information, as we will not be able to check emails whilst we are teaching during the day we ask that if you have something urgent to let us know please email the school office where it can be dealt with more quickly. Please also use the school office email to report if your child is absent as they will need to update the register straight away.
