A new academic year is here!

Welcome back everyone! It is lovely to be back in school after a restful and enjoyable Summer holidays. I hope you all enjoyed the break and made some wonderful memories as families!

The children have made a fantastic start in Year 1. We have settled in well and everyone is working hard, adjusting well to school life after Reception and trying their very best! Well done Year 1, you are doing a fabulous job already!

We hope you are all getting used to the routines of the class now and have seen that your children's book change days are printed on the front of their reading records. Don't forget to jot down if they've read with you and how they got on. 

Just a brief reminder about homework: Spellings go home every Monday to be learnt for the following Monday and homework is sent home on a Wednesday, to be handed in on follwing Wednesday.

The children can also choose a book from our class library area each Thursday and they can change it every Thursday afternoon. They can of course keep it for longer than a week if they'd like to. Please encourage your children to share these books with you - they choose them themselves, with no input from us so are keen to read them! It gives them the opportunity to read books other than those from the reading scheme too. 

We have booked our Year 1 trip to Bramall Hall as part of our 'Houses and Homes' topic which we are all looking forward to. If you would like to put your name forward to be responsible for a group, you are most welcome. Please just let myself of Mrs Sivyer know. The trip is on Thursday 17th October. Many thanks in advance. Names will be pulled out of a hat if we have a high number of volunteers. A letter will be going out to all parents reagrding the trip soon. 

Lots to look forward to as always, in what is sure to be a busy but fun-filled term. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask when you see me out and about in the mornings or after school.

Thank you,

Mrs Gaulton
