Year 1

Welcome to Year 1!

Mrs S. Anwar (Year 1 teacher)

Miss Brewer (LSA)

Year One begins the children's journey into Key Stage One, so it's a very important year! We are committed and passionate about children's learning and development. Our aim is to ensure children have a smooth transition to Year One while building on their learning from Reception. We are very proud of our children and amazed by all that they have achieved so far.

Reading

In Year One, we love to read exciting stories. We want to foster a love of reading in every class and this is why we have lots of different books hand picked for the children to enjoy. Every day, after lunch and at the end of the school day children enjoy and listen to a story read by their teacher.

Your child will also visit the library every week and bring home a Big Cat Collins and Reading for Pleasure book. Please ensure you read daily with your child so their reading and fluency can improve.

Each week your child will also bring their Phonics Shed Homework which will cover all the GPCs, Words, HFW words covered during the week. Please support your child with this at home.
