Welcome to Year 1

The children have made a great start to Year 1 this week and are getting used to all our new routines in class. 

Some key information for parents. 

This term Year 1 will have PE on Monday and Tuesday afternoons.

The children's reading books will be changed twice a week on a Monday and a Thursday. Please sign in your child's reading diary each time they read their book at home and ensure they have their book in school on these days. We recommend reading each book they bring home 3 times to help them develop accuracy, fluency and understanding. 

Spellings will be sent on each Friday for the children to learn through the week. They will have a spelling test the following Friday. 

Each Friday homework tasks will be set for the children to complete online using Purple Mash. Their individual login is stuck inside their reading diary. 

The children will also have the book they are reading in school assigned to them as an ebook that they can read to you at home to consolidate the work they are doing in school. This will be available via the Oxford Owl website and their individual login is stuck inside their reading diary.

Over the term the children can complete as many of their 'Pick and Mix' homework activities as they would like to which we display and share in school in our homework gallery.

Myself, Mrs Sanderson or Mrs Farnworth are available each day at the start and end of school should you ever need to speak to us about your child. 

We are going to have an exciting year full of fun learning and activities.
