Friday 4th December 2015
Dear Parents and Carers,
As part of our Tree Project, we will be looking at the beautiful story ‘The Giving Tree’ by Shel Silverstein. This will be linked to our Ethos with a focus on the word ‘Open’. We will learn what trees can give to our community and what we, ourselves, can give to others in our Brooklands community.
We are going to build our own Giving Tree in our Year 1 learning environment which will inform our community about the different skills we have and show the different ways we can be ‘Open’ and give to others.
We would like to invite you into school on Friday 11th December between 8.30-9.30 to join your child’s class and teacher to join in with the learning and create decorations for the Giving Tree.
We will be providing materials to create the decorations. However, you are welcome to bring in your own decoration materials to use with your child during the session.
We look forward to sharing a morning of learning with you all.
Kind regards,
Year 1 Team
Next week we will be starting our project ‘The Giving Tree’

Today we have been busy learning our new text! It has lots of rhyming words can you spot them?
Next we worked together in our learning trios to add actions to it and performed it to each other.
Tomorrow we are going to start writing our own non-fiction books about the brain using the information we have found out so far this week….

Remember Year 1 parents that our classrooms will be open on Thursday straight after school (3:30-4pm) and again on Friday morning (8:30-9:00) for you to come in and see the children’s learning.
The children have all been using their ‘determined’ muscles today to make books all about themselves. We will be carrying on with these books ready to share them with you.
Many thanks
The Year 1 Team 🙂
Thank you very much to all the parents who attended our curriculum tea on Wednesday.
We had 100% attendance from all the parents which is fantastic! It’s great that we can work in partnership together!
The children had a great day cooking flapjack, rock cakes, fairy cakes and making sandwiches to share with the parents.
🙂
