Welcome to Year 1

Welcome back to school Y1 after a very sunny half-term break.

Our topic for this half term is the seaside. You will be delving into facts about the Victorian and Edwardian seaside whilst comparing it to seaside holidays now. You will be exploring lighthouses and will be thinking about what they are used for and how they work. You will even learn about the famous Grace Darling and the heroic achievement she made.

You will be focusing all of your learning around the book of 'The lighthouse keeper's lunch. This book will underpin all of our learning and will help us to become engrossed in the seaside. It will also kick start our next talk for writing topic!
For more information about our seaside learning please look at this term's holistic plan which can be found here

I am very excited for us to start our learning in this topic and to hear all of your wonderful ideas about the seaside. Always remember Y1 to be a superstar, work hard and always believe in yourself.

Your teacher,

Miss Haynes

Reading

Please record all of your reading in your reading diaries every week and remember to bring your reading book and wallet to school every day.
