Summer Term 2 2019

Dear Parents and Carers,

Once again,many thanks for your support and kindness last half term. We have all thoroughly enjoyed our topic "Going Wild" so much that we are going to continue it this term. Please come and see our leaf relief printing in class if you haven't already. This term we want to find out more about living things and want to know whether Minibeasts are beastly or useful? We will also be discovering more about plants and creatures in the fenland environment of Wicken Fen.

This term our topic takes us to the summer holidays. We will continue to monitor the weather and observe seasonal changes around us. Through Science,Geography and Drama, we will be focusing on living things in our local environment and their habitats. Don't forget to practise your alien words and real words for the phonics test too!

Best wishes,
Rebecca Dawkins and the Year 1 team.
