Summer Term is here!

Welcome back everyone! It is lovely to be back in school and to see everyone after having the last few weeks away. Thank you as always for your support and patience and very well done to the children for continuing to work hard last half term. Well done Year 1!

I look forward to meeting with you this half term for the two rescheduled parents' evenings, to share the successes of your children and to give you a few tips for the Phonics Screening next half term. The children are progressing well and I'm sure they will do fabulously well in June!

Over the next few weeks we are reading and writing Fantasy stories, so if you have any favourites please do share them with your children. Always a good excuse to get the Disney films out! Talk with the children about what makes stories fantasy. Is it the characters, setting or events? Discussion and exposure to different fantasy stories at home will enhance the children's understanding of the genre and give them even more ideas for their own writing.

We have Dad's morning to look forward to this week too. We are hoping the weather continues to be kind to us so we can get out into the Great Outdoors! Hopefully we can get some great pictures of the children enjoying their outdoor activities on here next week. If the weather does look like taking a turn for the worst, please make sure Dads and children come with a coat and possibly wellies as we will still be going outside if it rains.

We are looking into Year 1 trips at the moment also. You will of course be updated with information once bookings are confirmed.

Lots to look forward to in what is sure to be a busy but fun-filled term.

Thank you,

Mrs Gaulton
