Welcome to Class 1 24-25
We have lots to look forward to this year with many exciting topics. We also have lots of people helping us in Class 1 this year. Mrs Warren will be with us all day every day to help us with our learning, as well as Mrs Saunders helping us with our learning too.
Class 1 is made up of two year groups (Reception and Year 1) and some learning will be different for each year group.
Key Information for Class 1
PE - Our PE day this half term in Class 1 is Thursday. Please come into school in your PE kits.
Spellings - Spellings are only given out to Year 1 children at this point in the year. The children will be given spellings on a Friday, to be tested the following Friday commencing the week of 16th September. The children are expected to practise these at home wherever possible.
Reading - At Gosfield we spend a lot of time at school during our Phonics and English lessons looking at books and learning to read. Each child will have their very own book to read at home in their reading pouch. We aim for the children to read the same book at home at least 3 times a week as this improves not only their decoding of the book, but also helps them to understand what is happening in the book in more detail. Books will be changed every Friday.
Topics for the Autumn Term
This term our topics will be Dinosaurs and People and Places. The children complete different lessons and areas of learning during these topics as the curriculums are slightly different. Reception children will be exploring the outdoor area a lot during this first half term, learning about our topics through play. In Year 1 the children will complete more formal lessons within the classroom, learning about our topic in a different way.
If you ever have any questions about any areas of learning or would like to arrange a meeting, please email the office and they will forward your email on to myself.
I cannot wait to get this year started. It is going to be an exciting one!
