Year 1 – Super Satin Mice

2025

Mrs Wilmott

Welcome to the Super Satin Mice! We hope that you have had a lovely May half term break. Our new topic is ‘Fantastic Fairy tales’ and we will enjoy the traditional fairy tales-including some with alternative endings and twists. We will write an alternative ending to ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’ and swap characters around to be good instead of always being bad.

We will also prepare for transitioning to Year two and we will write a letter to our new teacher all about ourselves.

We will continue to follow 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.
