Victorians
This term, Year 1 children are exploring the theme of the Victorians, where they are learning about what life was like in the past and how it is different from today. As part of this, they are also discovering the history of flight, finding out how people first learned to fly and how planes have changed over time. The children will learn about important people such as Queen Victoria, the Wright brothers and Amelia Earhart, and how they helped shape history.
Hiller Bedtime Bears
Research shows that children who enjoy reading, do better at school in all subjects. Reading with at home with your child can be fun and very rewarding. Our Hiller Bedtime bags are set up to help make reading a special, shared time.
There are two bedtime bags for reception class and two bedtime bags for year one. Watch this space for two new bears, soon to arrive in Year 2 also! These are sent home each Friday with two children in each class, to be enjoyed. The bag includes: a few quality books to read, a teddy to cuddle, hot chocolate to drink and a diary to record what you have read and how you enjoyed it!
When it is your child's turn, please enjoy the bedtime bag for the week, and bring it back the following Friday. You can record in the diary what you have been up to and what you have read with the bedtime bear. If you would like, you can even email Mrs Clements or your teacher, pictures of you enjoying the bedtime bag and I can pop them on our school social media to share with our community!
