Year 1 Information
Welcome to Year 1!
We have two classes:

Our approach throughout the year is to create a bridge to help ease the transition between the child centred ethos of Early Years and the more formal whole class based learning that is established in KS1.
Please see out timetables attached:
PE Kits:
1D have PE on Friday and will need their PE kits on this days. Please dress your child in their kit on Friday morning and send their school uniform in so that they can get changed with Morris at the end of their lesson.
1C has PE on Wednesday and need their PE kits on this day. Please dress your child in their kit on Wednesday mornings and send their school uniform in so that they can get changed with Morris at the end of the lesson.

Home Learning:

Reading:
You child will bring home their Reading Practice Book to be celebrated at home on Thursdays and it is essential that this book is returned the following Tuesday. This book is accompanied with a Reading Record. Please complete one entry in this for the period that you have the book at home. This book is 100% decodable and will have already been read three times by your child in their Reading Practice Sessions at school.
You child will also bring home a 'Sharing Book' from the book box and will have the opportunity to change this book on Mondays and Fridays. This is a book to simply share and enjoy. These texts are not decodable but meant as a further celebration for the purpose of reading for pleasure.
Water Bottles:
Please make sure you child brings in a clearly labelled water bottled each day that has already been filled with water.
Thank you very much.
