Welcome to our Year 1 Information Page

On this page, you will find all the general information that you will need to know about Year 1. Click HERE for our weekly newsletter where you will find photos from the week's learning and dates for your dairy.

There are two parallel classes in Year 1- 1K and 1P; our two rooms are opposite each other and we share a fabulous middle area space that we use for creative activities, intervention groups and enhanced provision. The enhanced provision activities are a selection of engaging and relevant weekly focus activities linked to our Maths and English learning, which smaller groups of children can choose from whilst other groups of children are working in focus groups.

Timetable and curriculum.

Here is a sample of the Year 1 Time Table for Term 1. 

 PE

• PE lessons will take place on a Monday for each class. 
• Children must have the appropriate house colour top, plain blue shorts, plain blue or black jogging trousers and trainers for PE.
• We will be having lessons outside when possible so you may wish to provide a zip-up top or jumper.

Please ensure all kit etc. is named clearly. This then makes it easier to reunite lost items with their owners.

Swimming

 Year 1 will swim on a Friday afternoon, alternating between each class. This will continue until the end of the academic year.

Forest School

Forest will run on Thursday morning starting on the 8th September 2023Please make sure your child comes to school dressed in their Forest School clothes - weather appropriate, warm and named. Please ensure all items are named. Your child will also need waterproof jacket and trousers as well as wellies. These can be kept in school.   

Homework

Homework will consist mainly of phonic practise, reading and spelling. We will begin to send out homework once they have settled later in this term.

In addition each term we will be giving the children an opportunity to complete a big "project" for homework - further details to come.

We would welcome any volunteers to hear readers or help with a variety of activities. More information to follow at the meet the teacher sessions.
