Caterpillars 2020 - 2021

Welcome to Caterpillar’s Class.

We are a year 1 class who love to learn new and exciting things. We like to learn things in different ways to keep us motivated and engaged. We are a friendly class who show compassion and we value thankfulness and forgiveness.

If you have any queries please come and speak to a member of the Caterpillar’s team. Mrs O'Sullivan, Ms Evason and Mrs Clark.

PE Days- Monday PM

Homework

Homework is given weekly under the homework link (e.g. weekly spelling list, that will be tested every Friday morning) and a Maths or topic based task. Work can be completed and returned via the pupil log in or pupils will be given a yellow homework book to complete tasks in (this must stay at home until the end of half term when I will collect them - allowing for any germs to die off) Please log in each week! 

Reading 

Two reading books sent home every Monday and returned Friday. (Recommended reading 5/10 minutes daily but at least 3 x per week) 

Our main school phonics scheme is Bugclub although we use a variety of additional resources e.g. ICT; Phonicsplay, Jolly Phonics (youtube), Phonics Farm app (22learn) games and interactive resources. Our home reading books are a mixture of decodeable and 'tricky' words that are progressive through colour bands matched to phonics phases.

I will also send home at the beginning of every half term  (or as soon as they have learned them) a copy of the flashcards letters, sounds and tricky words your child needs to  read and spell 3 x per week.
