'Let your light shine' Matthew 5:16
Year 1
A WARM WELCOME TO YEAR 1
Miss Forster and the Year 1 team are delighted to welcome your child to our class this year. We will be supported by Mrs Ball (Monday), Mrs Gregory (Tuesday/Wednesday), Mrs Tudor (Thursday/Friday) and Mrs Tozer (Monday – Thursday mornings). We thought it would be helpful to provide some important information to help you and your child prepare for the changes this September. Following the important foundations laid in Reception, Year 1 is a more structured year filled with new learning experiences, growing independence, and plenty of fun along the way.
Phonics
We will continue to follow Unlocking Letters and Sounds for our phonics scheme this year. Throughout the year, there will be phonics level checks, and your child will be formally assessed at the end of Y1. Please try to make phonics practice as well as reading at home part of your weekly routine as this will be a huge help!
Reading
We aim to hear your child read at least once a week and then as we move throughout the year, we will introduced guided reading. At this stage of your child’s development, it is really important that they read on a regular basis at home as well so that they build on the learning that happens in the classroom. Please keep practising in the holidays, as this means your child will keep the skills they have already learnt fresh in their minds!
P.E Bags and Jumpers
Please can children come into school in PE kits on Wednesdays. Please can items such as jumpers, cardigans and hoodies be labelled to avoid confusion at the end of each day.
