Year 1 – Super Satin Mice

2025

Mrs Wilmott

Welcome to the Super Satin Mice! We hope that you have had a lovely Easter. Our new topic is ‘Castles and Crowns’ and we will learn all about the history of castles, including going to Tamworth Castle. We will write an alternative ending to ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’ and instructions on how to catch a dragon.

We will also be following our new phonics scheme ‘Little Wandle’ with daily phonics and three reads a week to develop: Decoding, prosody and comprehension. Your child will take the same book home for the week to develop their fluency and we encourage you to listen to them read. Children will also choose a reading for pleasure book and these should be returned on a Tuesday ( however children can change this book as often as they would like as it is returned).

Our PE days are Monday and Friday and children should come to school dressed in their active wear on these days.

The teaching assistants are Mrs Purdy Monday-Thursday and Mrs Hallam on a Friday.

Miss Wakefield will teach on a Wednesday afternoon our Science and Music lessons.

Thank you for all your support, I am looking forward to this half term of learning. I post daily on the Class DOJO app so please continue to use and please send me photos of any home learning for your child to share.
