Mrs Beechey and Mrs Finch are our   Class Teachers		Miss Willis is our Teaching Assistant

Welcome to Year One.
Our class Christian Value is ‘Compassion’

Mrs Finch and Mrs Egan are our Class Teachers (the wonderful Mrs Beechey is currently on maternity leave). Mrs Finch is in class on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Mrs Egan is in class on a Wednesday. On occasion this may change- but this is the pattern that we aim for!

Miss Willis, our fabulous teaching assistant, is in class every morning. Mrs D'Arcy is our learning support assistant. 

In Year One we try to make the transition from Reception as easy and as smooth as possible. We recognise the importance of learning through play whilst also aiming to prepare children for the challenges of Year 2.

Important Information:

- Home learning challenges are provided each term on a chilli challenge sheet. There are a range of activities to choose from, which are designed to be fun and consolidate learning across the curriculum. Challenges may be completed independently or alongside adults. At least two of the tasks are worksheets, which you can complete via Class Dojo or on a paper copy.

- Reading books will be changed every Friday. Please try to read at home at least three times a week and ensure that reading books and reading diaries are in school every day. 

- PE will be on Tuesdays. Please come to school in your PE kit on that day.

- Our Research Project for Autumn 1 is 'Space'. We will be learning about the history of Space travel and about some significant figures such as Neil Armstrong, Mae Jemison and Tim Peake. 

If you have any questions, worries or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us. Come and see us at the classroom door or send us a message on Class Dojo.
