Welcome to Year 1!
Class Teacher- Ms Burrows
Teaching Assistants - Mrs Palacio and Miss Owens
On this page, you will find any information regarding Year 1, including the curriculum being delivered and the achievements of the children.
Year 1 is an amazing year and we can't wait to share it with your child! In Year 1 your child will be making the exciting transition from Early Years to Key Stage One. Our mornings will gradually become more structured with daily Maths, English, Guided reading and Phonics sessions. Phonics is a key element of Year 1 life, and we practise regularly to ensure all our children are equipped to decode and blend words. Our aim is to ensure all children reach their full potential and develop a love of learning. This involves building a curriculum that suits each child in our class. Our foundation subjects are in the afternoons and we plan to ensure they are fun, inspiring and engaging to find out what we are learning please read our curriculum overview.
Homework
Homework will be uploaded to Seesaw each Friday. If you would prefer a paper copy then please speak to either Ms Burrows or Mrs Palacio. Homework will include a piece of Maths work, weekly spellings and weekly reading or phonics. Children are expected to read daily with an adult, with at least two sessions being recorded in their reading diary. Reading books and reading diaries should be in school daily for support with learning.
