Welcome to Year 1 2024-2025

Miss Lewis is the Class Teacher and Mrs Anson is the Teaching Assistant in Year 1.

Here is some information you may find useful:

Creative home learning is set at the beginning of every half term. The creative home learning grid is uploaded onto the school blog, seesaw and a paper copy (in your child's home learning book) will be sent home. The home learning activities are to be completed and uploaded to seesaw at your own leisure or presented in your child’s homework book. This term (Autumn term 1), your child will be given a variety of home learning to complete each week in their red home learning book. The home learning will vary between: Phonics (Reading and Spelling), Mathematics, Writing (Handwriting / SPaG) and Reading comprehension. The home learning may be differentiated to your child’s ability based on ongoing formative and summative assessments. Home learning is to reinforce and consolidate learning that has been taught in school. Please ensure your child has their blue home learning book in school every Friday as new work will be set/issued and any feedback will be given.  Please note, homework may vary from work stuck into home learning books to online homework on Purple Mash or Mathletics.

Reading books (Phonics books which contain a number e.g. 3.2 and colour book banded books) and reading records will be monitored each week so please ensure they are brought to school every day. We aim for your child to read 1-1 with an adult at least once a week. 

Please ensure your child has a clearly labelled PE kit for indoor (pumps to be worn for dance and gymnastics) and trainers to be worn for outdoor lessons. All clothing and footwear must be labelled. PE will take place every Tuesday and Friday afternoon.  The children will bring home their PE every Friday evening for washing and this will need to be returned every Monday. Please ensure your child has a clearly labelled 'water' bottle in school daily, sun-cream and a sun hat (weather dependant).
