Year 1

​ Welcome to the wonderful world of year 1!

This page will be used to keep you updated about all things Year One. Here are some notices for parents and carers.
​
  • PE  takes places on Monday and Tuesday. Children can leave their PE kits in school in a named, sealable bag.
  • Reading books will be changed every Friday. Please ensure your child has their sharing books and banded book, plus their reading record. Their eBook will be updated and the previous week's book remains online, so your child will have two decodable books to enjoy each week.
  • Homework will be given out every Friday in the orange homework books and is to be returned by Wednesday.

For any queries, speak to me at school or email:

Please ensure you are reading for at least 15 minutes a day. Make sure your Collins ebook is being read with an adult at least 5 times a week.
​Also, your child brings home a banded book (recognsied by the coloured sticker on it) and a choosing book each week. These should be in their book bag everyday, but will be changed each Friday. Happy reading!
