Year 1

Welcome back to school to all our Year 1 children and families! We are thrilled to have the opportunity to teach and inspire your children this academic year.

In Year 1, we follow the National Curriculum, using our ‘Open Curriculum’ approach that interweaves various subjects through overarching Concepts.

This term, our concept is Life, which will engage and captivate our young learners as we explore ‘To what extent should we consider the impact of ourselves on others?’

To support your child's reading development, your child will bring home a reading book for structured practise. We have a school expectation that children read at home at least three times a week. We recommend that children spend between ten and twenty minutes each day reading at home with an adult. If your child has difficulty completing the schools expectations of reading, please talk to me for support and advice.

Please remember that PE lessons are scheduled for Wednesdays and Fridays. For safety reasons, please ensure that you remove earrings before participating in physical activities or parents can apply tape over earrings. Staff are not permitted to remove earrings. Additionally, labelling your child's uniform is crucial and children must bring a labelled water bottle in each day.

The Year 1 class staff are:

Teacher: Ms Brooks

Teaching Assistant: Miss Jordan & Mrs Butt

Learning Support Assistant: Mrs Mclellan

If you have any concerns please do not hesitate to come and talk to us. This can be done either by arranging an appointment after school or if necessary, an appointment can be made that day.

We are looking forward to an engaging year ahead, full of exciting learning experiences for your child!
