In Year 1 we are curious and inquisitive learners who always seek to know more. Over the year, we begin to gain a greater understanding of the world around us and how the past before us has shaped the world we live in today. We learn all about the world around us to develop our understanding of people and places, through our carefully crafted curriculum.

We are also phonics heroes and are always on the look out for our new phonemes in our reading and writing as we know that these will help us become confident and fluent readers and writers. We read lots of stories throughout our time together and we learn to enjoy stories, as well as use them to develop our phonic understanding. 

Above all, we are determined and confident. We know that together we can achieve anything. 

Our class teacher is Ms Brodie and our teaching assistant is Miss Monger. Ms Atkin teaches us on a Monday. 

Polite Reminders & Key Information:

Timings of the school day:

8.50am - children line up on the playground where they are met by the Year 1 team.

3.20pm - children will be released via the top door onto the playground, to their trusted adult. 

Labelling:

All items brought into school should be labelled with the child's name (including bags and coats). Children are responsible for their garments and equipment. Having names on clothing makes it much easier for us to return these to the right person. 

PE - Tuesday and Friday:

Children need to ensure that they have the correct PE kit on this day. The school PE kit is a plain white t-shirt, blue/black shorts or jogging bottoms and plimsolls or trainers. No earrings or jewellery are allowed to be worn during PE lessons. Ideally, a labelled PE kit will come to school on the first day of each half term, and stay on the child's peg until the end of the half term. 

Lunchtimes:

Year 1 children will go into the hall to eat their lunches. After that, they will have a session of outside play, supervised by our midday supervisors. As we are a healthy school, please provide a healthy lunchbox if your child is having a packed lunch.

Medication:

If your child has any medical conditions which require medication, e.g. inhalers. Please could we ask you to go to the school office to fill in a medication form first, and then we can keep the medication in school and first aid trained staff will be able to administer it when applicable.

Contact Details:

Please keep the school office updated with all your current contact details, so that we can contact you directly and keep you updated with all school matters.
