A message from our teacher
Hello and welcome to our Year 1 class page! We are really looking forward to a wonderful year of learning and fun together. Year 1 is such an exciting time as we begin new adventures, grow our skills, and discover the joy of learning in lots of different ways. On this page, you’ll be able to see our fantastic work, special class moments, and important updates. We can’t wait to see all the amazing things we will do in Year 1!

Year 1 Classroom Information
School start and finish Times
The doors open at school at 8.40am lessons begin at 8.45am. School finishes at 3:15pm.
Reading Books
Reading Books are sent home every day. Please make sure they are returned each day. If they are sent home on Friday, they are returned on Monday.
We ask that you read with your child at home frequently and make brief comments in their reading record to indicate that the book has been read.
Class Dojo
We use a communication tool with parents called Class Dojo. It is an app that you can download and keep up to date with school news and your child’s learning. We post pictures often of what has been happening in class. We will also post homework on here and ideas about how to support your child’s learning at home. This programme also allows your child to earn dojo points by demonstrating positive behaviour in school.
Lunch
Lunch is from 12.00 – 1.15. Lunch is currently free for children in Reception to Year Two.
Phonics
Unlocking Letters and Sounds is used when teaching the children. More information on phonics can be found here
PE
The children will do PE on Thursdays and Fridays. Please send your child in their PE kit for the day.
All children will need black pumps (these can be kept in school in a pump bag).
PLEASE ENSURE ALL CLOTHING AND FOOTWEAR ARE LABELLED.
Homework & Spellings
Homework is sent home on Fridays and is due back on the following Monday. Please ensure your child completes their homework, as it is set to help embed the concepts we have learnt throughout the week.
Spellings are also sent home on Fridays and are to be kept at home for children to practice. Children are tested on the spellings the following Friday.
