Welcome to Year 1

Mrs Clarke is our   Class Teacher		Miss Willis is our Teaching Assistant

Welcome to Year One. 

Mrs Clarke is our class teacher while Mrs Finch and Mrs Beechey are on maternity leave. Miss Willis, our fabulous teaching assistant, is in class every morning.

Our class Christian Value is ‘Compassion’.

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 in 'continuous provision' but also prepare children for the challenges of Year 2.

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.

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 diary are in school every day.

We will also have a spelling quiz every Friday. Spellings on the quiz will be taught and practised in class that week. Spellings will also be posted in advance on class dojo so that you can also practise them at home if you wish. 

This half term PE is on Fridays. Please come to school in your PE kit on that day.

This term our research project for Spring 1 Term is 'Our School and Local Area'. We will be learning about where we live, looking at maps of the local area and exploring physical and human features. 

To make any last minute changes to collection arrangements for your child, please telephone the school office.

If you have any questions, worries or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us. Either speak to us at the classroom door or send us a message on class dojo.
