Welcome to Year 1

Welcome to Year One. I hope you had a fantastic holiday and are ready and raring to get back to learning.

In Year One we try to make the transition from Reception as easy and as smooth as possible. We still recognise the importance of Continuous Provision whilst preparing children for the challenges of Year 2.

Words of the Week will be given out on a Friday with the test the following week. Home learning will be given out on a Friday and will be activities that can be done alongside adults. Each week there will be a Maths and English activity. There will often be choices about how this learning is completed in order to suit individual children. Home learning logs should be returned on a Wednesday so I can have a look at what the children have done and stick in Fridays home learning.

Reading books will be changed every Thursday unless you write in diaries that you would like to keep the same book for another week. Books can be changed earlier if finished by stating in diaries ‘Please change’.

Reading diaries are checked daily for any messages, including if somebody different is picking up, and any money or letters that are being returned. 

This half term PE is on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

This term our research project is 'Destination Outer Space'. We will be learning about the planets, people that went into space and even animals that went up in rockets too.

If you have any worries or concerns please do not hesitate to come and see us.
