Welcome back, please see below for the upcoming swim meets, some have imminent deadlines.

This term we are trialing a new payment system – to streamline the process for yourselves, swim meets will be invoiced at the end of term. Please note should a swimmer withdraw from the swim meet after the closing date they will still be invoiced irrespective of the reason for withdrawal as the host school still charges for the swimmer. 

Please collect an application form from the Activities Office and return together the consent form before the closing date.

Good luck to all swimmers, we look forward to taking a bigger and faster team to all meets this year.

Dear Parents,

What a busy and exciting first full week the children have had at school. The children have been busy getting used to all of the new routines in their classrooms. They are beginning to show some great independence when organising their books bags, water bottles and all the other things they need to remember every day.

In Maths, we have continued counting forwards and backwards and representing numbers in different ways using practical resources. The children have also been finding one more and one less than a given number.

In Literacy, the children have been getting used to reading in their Guided Reading groups and have continued to enjoy and join in with their favourite stories in class.

In Design and Technology, the children have been learning about the importance of safety when using tools. We all had fun practising using a hammer and nails.

In Topic, the children have been learning about the weather and have created a class weather chart to show different types of weather that they have noticed happening outside of the classroom.

We hope you have a lovely weekend.

Many thanks for your support,

The Year 1 Team

Dear Parents,

What a fantastic start to Year 1 the children have had this week! We are so impressed by how well they have settled into their new classrooms. It has been lovely welcoming so many new children to Shrewsbury this year and the children have made lots of new friends already.

In Maths, we have been grouping different objects in different ways and talking about what we have done using Mathematical vocabulary. We have also been practising counting forwards and backwards to 10. In Literacy, we have been reading lots of familiar and new stories. The children love joining in with the familiar phrases! We have been busy learning about our character strength for this half term, respect, and thinking about ways we can be respectful around school. We are going to make sure we say thank you to the kitchen staff at lunch time and look after our new toys in Year 1.

We hope you have a restful weekend and look forward to seeing you all next week for our first full week in Year 1!

Many thanks for your support,

The Year 1 Team
