Year 1 – Super Satin Mice

Hullabaloo at the Zoo2026

Mrs Wilmott

Welcome to the Super Satin Mice! We hope that you have had a lovely Christmas and a Happy New Year. This half term we will be learning all about animals during our ‘Hullabaloo Zoo’ topic .The children will create heir own version of ‘We’re going on a lion hunt’ and write a letter persuading the Tiger to come back for tea.

We will follow the  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 assistant is Mrs Purdy Monday-Thursday.

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.
