Year 1

Welcome to Year 1

Important information:

Reading Books

Please ensure that your child brings their reading book to school on Tuesdays and Thursdays when we will change it with them. Your child must have their reading diary signed to say they have read to an adult. Please try to listen to your child reading for at least 5-10 minutes each day. It is a good idea to read the reading book several times with your child through the week so they become confident in reading and familiar with the story.

Sharing a book at bedtime or reading a story to your child will help them develop a love for reading!

Spellings

Spelling Tests take place on Fridays and new spellings will be given for the following week on Fridays. The words they are asked to learn are taken from the phonics they have been learning that week and the common exception word list for Year 1.

Homework

Homework will be given out on Wednesdays. This will be Maths or Phonics linked to the learning we have covered that week. You can also complete a more creative homework from our Homework Menus below.

Physical Education

PE days are Tuesdays and Fridays and children will need to wear their PE kits to school on those days so that they can get changed into them. PE kit should consist of a navy or white t-shirt and navy shorts or navy/black tracksuit bottoms or leggings. Children will need pumps or trainers because we will be outside as much as possible. Please ensure the children do not wear jewellery for school on PE days as it has to be removed.
