Welcome to Year 1 Anning Class

Welcome to Year 1! 

Hi all,

Welcome to Year 1! On this page, you will find key information for the year ahead. Year 1 is an exciting time as the children begin to learn, develop, and grow.

In Year 1 we have...

Miss Whitaker - Class Teacher

Mrs Hurst - Assistant Teacher

Mrs Moss - Teacher (PPA cover) 

 

Class Routines

When the children come into class at 8:45, they start the day with handwriting, so it is very important that they arrive promptly please. 

We stop for break at 11:00 and lunch is from 12:15 to 13:15. At the end of the day, I shall bring the class out of the classroom door to the KS1 playground and hand them over when I see you or the grown-up responsible for your child. Please remember to contact the office if someone different is picking up your child as I cannot hand them over to someone not on your approved list.

PE

PE is on a Monday and Friday, so please bring PE kits in for then.

Water Bottles and Lunch

Please make sure your child has a named water bottle in school every day. They are kept in the water bottle box, can be refilled throughout the day and are taken out at break and lunchtime.

School lunches can now only be ordered online in advance, so please make sure you order in enough time! Children in Key Stage 1 are all entitled to a free school lunch and we provide fruit for the children at break time.

Equipment

We will provide all stationery for our lessons in school, but they might need access to stationery at home for some of their homework. 

Homework

Homework will consist of daily reading. This is imperative as the phonics screening check occurs in Year 1. Knowledge organisers will be sent home for the term. These consist of the knowledge learnt in our broader curriculum subjects. To support your child's retention of these subjects, please help them review or learn parts of their knowledge organiser each week, this should take no more than 10 minutes. If the children would like to produce something showing their knowledge e.g. a mind map, picture, or writing, this can be bought into school, this is not however required.

Each week, your child will also bring home a book from our school library. This is a book to share purely for the pleasure of reading and is not intended for decoding.
