Welcome to Year 1

We are committed and passionate about children's learning and development. We aim to ensure children have a smooth transition to Year One while building on their learning from reception. Our focus in Year One is to develop a strong foundation for learning and allow their curiosity to flourish. Year one is the beginning of more focused written work. Although it's always hard for the children to transition from Reception, we believe that by striving, dedication and being inspirational, we can make that transition easier. We are very proud of our children and amazed by all that they have achieved so far.

Homework

In response to parental surveys and in line with recovery planning, English OR and math homework will be sent home each week in Year 1. This is to be completed in the child’s homework book.  

Reading books are changed every week with their reading leader. Hedgehogs and Badgers change their books on Mondays, and Deers change their books every Tuesday. Children read three times per week with an adult. Inside each front cover, you will find information about the sounds, tricky words, and questions to ask your child while reading with them. 

Spelling

Children will receive weekly spellings to practise. Weekly spellings link to words learnt in phonics lessons. It would be best to encourage your child to segment to spell words, e.g., sh-ee-p. Spellings will be stuck in your child's planner each week. Children must bring their planners to school every day.
