Year 1 2017 - 2018

Year 1

Happy New Year from the Year 1 team.

We had  a lovely  term settling into Year 1. The children are showing that they are happy and secure in Key Stage 1 and continue to come into school with beaming smiles. Please make sure that P.E. kits are in school as soon as the new terms starts. Reading Partnership homework will commence on 8th January. Spellings will be sent home on Wednesday 3rd January for a short test on Friday. The children are quite familiar with these spellings already.  Thanks for all your support with the Spelling and Reading partnership homework. 

As the children become more familiar with being in Key Stage 1, there will be a greater emphasis on working independently. One group will work independently and one group will access the provision areas but will be expected to complete challenges. Two groups will be taught by Mrs Rattigan and Mrs Phelan.  We are continuing to work hard as a class to reinforce routines and lots of active learning in our learning zones!

In class, we will be working hard to earn Dojos for our Bronze Award and information regarding how your little one is doing will be sent out during week commencing 8th January. Some parents are logged on to Class Dojo and we can message each other which is quite fun! The children will also make right choices and fill buckets so that we can all have ‘Celebration’ time on  Friday! 

Please take a look at our curriculum map and if you can offer any help or expertise do not hesitate to speak to a member of the Year 1 team.

Year 1, Mrs Rattigan, Mrs Phelan, Ms Smith and Ms Prince
