Ash

Welcome to Ash Class!!

Welcome back Year 1 and I hope you are all ready to begin your last term in Ash Class! Our topic this term will be 'Flight' and we will be learning about lots of interesting things that fly. We will be writing our own information books in Literacy and will continue to work hard on number and calculation as part of numeracy lessons. We will be exploring different materials in Science and creating some beautiful impressionist art work too. Hopefully we will also have lots of opportunities for getting outside during a (hopefully!) sunny summer term

As always, if parents ever have any questions or concerns about your child then please don't hesitate to speak to me at the end of the day,

Miss Street
