Year 1

Welcome to Year 1

 Welcome back to school Year 1. We hope you had a fantastic summer and are ready for an exciting year of learning ahead. We have lots of fun learning opportunities planned for you throughout the year and we are looking forward to getting to know you all.

Please remember to bring your bookbag each day, with your reading books inside. You will take home two reading books each week and these will usually be swapped at the beginning of each week. It’s really important that you practice reading your book every day at home. You should also have your spelling book and a Read Write Inc book in your bookbag. Every Friday, you will be given a new Read Write Inc book and new spellings. You will have a test on a Friday for the spellings from the previous week.

Please also remember to bring a named water bottle with you.

PE days for both classes are Mondays (outdoor) and Wednesday (indoor).

On these days, you should come to school dressed in your PE kit which you will stay in all day.

If you have any questions, then please ask one of us.
