Welcome to Year 1!
The gates to the school open at 8:40am and all children must be in school by 8.50am, when the gates close.
Our PE days are Tuesday and Thursday. Please send PE kits in on a Monday and we will send them home on a Friday. If your child has pierced ears, then please ensure that their earrings have been removed on PE days so that they can participate in PE lessons.
Please ensure your child's uniform is named so it can always be returned to the rightful owner!

Pick A Puppet
Oh no! Mrs Honey and Miss Hardy - Trodd tried to put on a puppet show for the children but their puppets were too small for their hands, and kept falling apart! What will they do? Maybe the children can help....
Home Learning
Project Vocabulary
During our project, we are looking to develop the children's understanding and use of a range of vocabulary that is crucial to our learning. Our aim is to teach the children this vocabulary so that they can explain what it means. They should also be able to use it in a range of contexts both at school and at home. The children should be able to use it verbally when they talk and also in their written work.
Please work with your child to develop their understanding of the definition of the word and to use this vocabulary with you at home.

Reading for Pleasure!
Each year, the website 'Books for Topics' creates a recommended book list that children in each year group would enjoy.
We have attached their ideas for this current school year.

Reading - Tricky Words
Here are the tricky words from the Little Wandle Programme. These can be practised at home with your child.

The Little Wandle website has some fantastic videos to support parents who might be a little unsure about how to pronounce the sounds. We have included a link to them below.
