Year 1

Welcome to Class 1H

Welcome back Year 1!

We hope you had a wonderful and restful half-term break, and that you are returning refreshed and recharged ready for an exciting summer term. I can not believe we are in our final term of Year 1- the year has flown by!

The children have come back looking so grown up and smart in their summer uniforms. Please do continue to support us by ensuring your child wears the correct uniform (labelled) with suitable black shoes.

Please check out the Year 1 overview for this term to gain an insight of what we will be learning this term.

Reminders:

A named water bottle or plastic cup must be sent in – it can be topped up, if necessary, in class – and taken home daily for washing. Please ensure that your child’s P.E kit is in school.

All uniforms need to be clearly labelled please.

Regular reading at home is important as it is proven to build your child’s confidence, build self-esteem, expand vocabulary and build fluency. It is very important to discuss the book with your children to ensure they understand what they are reading. 

Important Information

Book bags must be brought to school daily, as we will endeavour to read with your child as often as we can. Try to read at home every day just a few pages to build their fluency.

• Children receive fruit and milk for the morning break, but they may bring in a healthy snack if they would prefer their own.
• Phonics begins at 9 am, children must be in school on time, if they are late, they will be missing their sound of the day. Coming into school late can leave the children feeling very worried and anxious, ensure they are in school at 8.50 am. The gates open at 8.45 am.

 We are setting ourselves a challenge in Year One, to see how many of our Year One Common Exception words we can read and spell.
