Welcome to Year 1 with Mrs Dene
Welcome back to the Summer Term!
We hope that you have had a lovely holiday!?
It is going to be an extremely fun and busy half term where the children will be writing their very own the Tiger Who Came to Tea story and completing comprehension activities in our English lessons.
In Maths, we will begin by looking at subtraction within 10, before completing our unit on place value and looking at numbers up to 100.
We are going to begin using Little Wandle in our Phonics sessions, there will be no more spelling test for the remainder of Year One. Please focus on your child's reading and homework to support them.
Please see the curriculum map attached for information on what your child will be learning.

Your child's wellbeing and education is of the utmost importance to me. I believe that the relationship between parent and teacher is as important as the relationship between a teacher and a child.
I have always had an open door policy for communications with the parents of the children that I teach - If there is ever anything that you would like to discuss with me, please approach me at the end of the school day or email me on the address below!
