Year 1

Welcome to our Year 1 page which includes all the details to help you and your child know a little about their year group.

Below is a short welcome and introduction to the team and you can follow the tabs below to find out about the curriculum, key information and more.

Miss Edwards is their class teacher this year and she will be supported by Mrs Farrington.  Mrs Quinn will be teaching the split Maths and English classes. 

P.E

P.E days this half term are Wednesday (Indoor) and Friday (Outdoor). Please remember to name all of your child's belongings, including all of their uniform, indoor and outdoor P.E kit and shoes.

P.E KITS

Outdoor P.E
Children should wear their outdoor kit; trainers (come to school wearing trainers - school shoes are not required on these days) P.E t-shirt, navy blue jogging pants and a navy blue sweatshirt / school fleece (not a hoodie or a zipped jacket as these are dangerous for P.E).

Indoor P.E
Children should wear shorts, a P.E t-shirt and come into school wearing their trainers.  During the Autumn and Spring Term the children should wear jogging pants and jumper / school fleece over this kit so they do not get cold during the school day.  

On our class page you will be able to see what topics we are covering during the year. You will be able to access the class  timetable and other useful information. Keep checking the Class Dojo page too for other information.

 

Reading and Homework

In Year 1 children will be expected to read at least three times per week. This must be signed for each time in their reading diary and will be checked weekly. Your child will be accessing both the Big Cat Collins Ebooks, where they will be assigned books at their specific level and a shared reading book. All Books will be changed once a week by Miss Farrington or myself. If you are struggling to support your child with their homework then please contact Miss Edwards for support. 

Mathseeds will be set weekly online aswell as spellings. There will be a weekly spelling quiz. 

Please can each child bring in their bookbag daily with reading diaries. 

Snack

Please can you send your child in with a labelled water bottle (filled) everyday. Water bottles will be sent home every night to be washed. 

There will also be fruit available for all children at the morning break time. If you wish your child to bring an additional snack then this must be a healthy option- we do not allow crisps or chocolate at snack time.

Please ensure that you order your child's school dinner each day via parent pay.  

 

Additional Notes

Please ensure your child has a waterproof coat in school or brought in daily as our weather is very unpredictable and the children will be accessing fresh air in all weathers. 

 

If you have any concerns or questions about your child's education then please contact Miss Edwards.
