Welcome to Year 1
We hope you had a fantastic Summer and are all refreshed ready to start a new school year.
We can't wait to see you all again but realise this can be an anxious time for all of us, so please don't be afraid to ask/tell us if you have any worries.
This term our theme is Significant People. We will explore who is significant to us at home, at school and in the wider community and world.
In Science we will be looking at our changing seasons as we go into Autumn and watch with awe as the colours in nature around us become warm, rich and earthy.
If you have any questions or wish to make an appointment to meet us, please email: admin@kelsaleprimary.org.uk
Home Reading books:
If you have given permission via Mrs Mansell, our new Little Wandle books will now be sent home for home reading.
After reading them in school, we will send them home on a Friday. They will be changed the following Friday.
(Due to their expense, any books not returned or damaged will incur a £3.50 fine)
Purple Mash Logins
All Venus children will receive a Purple Mash login if they havent already got one. We will look at this in class but feel free to have a go at logging in at home and exploring the website!
