Y1 Notices

Thank you all for your patience and attention given to our online learning last week - we really appreciate your support and couldn’t be prouder of your children! 

English

This week in English, children enjoyed writing sentences to describe where they would love to cycle, sail, or fly to in the world and why.

Maths 

We have continued to consolidate our knowledge of capacity and mass in maths, through practical exploration in our discovery space.  

Art

Each class has taken on their own project including sketching and 3D models of bikes, planes and boats, which inspires us ahead of next term’s topic of Continents! 

PSHE

We have discussed what makes a healthy meal, focusing on the different food groups and what to eat to stay healthy.

Humanities 

Children have updated their personal history timeline, comparing their years as a toddler to how they have since changed.

Reading books, talk time and writing will resume after the Spring Break. Please continue reading to your child and encourage them to join in with you each day. Should you wish to do writing, you could try a holiday diary with a sentence a day. 

Maths

The below app helps children build greater number confidence and fluency. It’s all about targeted practice in engaging, one-minute chunks!

Maths Passport 

Use this link to access Maths Passport. In the PO you will find which country your child should be working on. We will assess children on these passports regularly.

When you have done this each week with your child, please make a note in your child’s PO. 

Please keep reading at home, and sign in the P.O. every day so your child continues to make great progress in reading. 

Junk Modelling

Please can you send in any cardboard junk such as cardboard egg cartons, cereal boxes, toilet rolls etc, for our first week back at school in Term 3. Please try not to send plastic things as this is harder for the children to use. 

ECA's

These will start on the first day of term, on Sunday 19 April, and run until Thursday 25 June 2026.

Cultural Fair 

Thursday 23 April 2026 - NEW DATE

Primary students will take part in a variety of activities on the day and will also have the opportunity to purchase food and goods at a special sale. All funds raised will go to BSM’s chosen charities for this year.

We encourage students to wear clothing that represents their country (or countries) or the colours of their national flag(s) on the day.

Please send your child into school with some money for purchases:

• KS1 are allowed to bring up to OMR 3

Parents are also welcome to join us in the sports halls from 2-4pm.  (During the day access to the school will be restricted to only those parents running a stall)

See general notices for details

Dress code

We have noticed an increase in students wearing their own trainers to school so please remember that on school days, black footwear (shoes or trainers) should be worn.  Long hair should also be tied up. Stud earrings can be worn, but bracelets, necklaces and other earrings must not be worn to school. 

If a child is wearing a religious necklace please inform us via the Primary Office for approval. If approved, ensure it is tucked into shirts for health and safety reasons. 

Healthy Lunches & Nut Allergy

Please pack healthy lunches for your children, and note that we have nut allergies in the year group so no snacks should be sent containing nuts.
