Year 1 Reading Passport
20 BOOKS TO READ
Over the summer, each class teacher has been compiling a list of 20 books to read by the end of the year. These books are a mix of different texts, authors and text types. These can be read by the children, or read to them depending on your child's reading stage.
Children will be coming home with their own reading passport. This will show the 20 books for your child to read by the end of their class year. Over the year, the children will have the opportunity to read these books at home, and then you can sign the passport when the books have been read at home. All of the books that are on the passport are available from each class reading area, though you may have some copies at home.
After a book has been read and signed by an adult, a stamp or a sticker will be added to the passport in class to show that that book has been read. Once your child has read all of their books for the year, they will receive a certificate, a prize and their name will go onto our school Wall of Fame display.
We hope that this will help to encourage the children of St Joseph's to develop their love of reading for pleasure, and to help them to find new authors, text types and books that will spark their interest.
Happy Reading!

In our Commando Joe mission, we had to work as a team to get the ball across to the other side. We used our communication and resilience skills to work as a team to get the ball to the other side without dropping it. Good job Year 1!
In our Commando Joe mission, we built our own tent for a night in the outdoors! We were inspired by Steve Backshall when he had to stay in the outdoors when he lost his keys

As part of our picture news this week, children in Year 1 have been learning about Jasmin Paris who ran the ultramarathon in America. We decided we would complete our own ultramarathon, so we went and walked around our track to see how many times we could do it. Well done, we walked quite a few times around the track.
To complete our Maths unit, we did one final practical measuring and comparing capacity! The children had to fill the cup and pour it into the jug to see the capacity of the jug. Well done year 1
