Exploring the Year 1 equipment during our first week...
Welcome to Year One!
We have had a truly fantastic time starting this new academic year and the children have responded so positively to Year 1. They have helped me to feel welcome and are already engaging in all of the the learning activities.
We had a busy week getting to know the daily routine, finding where all the resources are, understanding expectations and taking part in lots of fun activities.
If you have any queries or concerns, please do not hesitate to speak to me after school or use the email address found above.
PE - For the first half term PE will be on Tuesday and Thursday. Please ensure your child has a full PE kit including a t-shirt, shorts, jogging bottoms, a long sleeved top and trainers/plimsolls. Please ensure that all items are labelled with your child’s name. We will send PE kits home for a wash at the end of each half term, unless it gets especially grubby before that.
Homework
• Reading: Your child will bring home 2 reading books each week, one from our reading scheme and another chosen from our class library. Please support your child to read these, and other books, daily and record it in their reading diary. Details of what they’ve read and a signature will be sufficient but please feel free to add a comment if you’d like. We would also encourage 'book talk' at home - discussing the plot of the story, the characters, your child's favourite part of the book, making predictions about what they think might happen next.
• Phonics: Your child will soon be bringing home a phonics homework book which will include activities to help your child practise the phonics skills we are working on at school. New activities will be added and sent home each Friday. Please support your child to complete the activities at home and return the book to school on the following Thursday.
