Happy new year everyone and welcome back to school for the spring term. We are Yellow Class and we are in Year 1. There are currently 28 children in our class. Our teachers are Mrs. Barker (Mon-Thurs) and Miss Clarke (Fri) and our LSAs are Mrs. Brown and Mrs Neilson. 

 

This term we will be learning about the period of history from 500 years ago as we ask ‘Who were the Tudors?’ We will become more familiar with daily life in Tudor times, Tudor homes, the reigns of King Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth I, and local evidence of the Tudor period. We will also be taking part in a special Tudor experience day in school on the 25^th of February. 

 

In Science, we will be comparing and learning about the properties of materials. We will also be learning about the suitability for different products and purposes in real life. We will be carrying out some experiments in class as we test different materials for their strength, waterproofing and other properties. 

 

Our P.E. days are on Monday and Thursday. We will be taking part in weekly gymnastics and dance lessons. Children will need their P.E. bag is in school with a white t-shirt, red shorts and plimsolls or trainers. It is also useful to have tracksuit trousers/jogging bottoms now that the weather is colder. Please make sure long hair is tied up and earrings removed on these days in accordance with our school PE policy. Thank you.

 

Please continue to read the fortnightly emails that have optional home learning links and activities to explore. If you have any questions about anything please feel free to speak to me before or after school.   

 

Thank you for reading!
