Year 1
Welcome to Year 1.
Your class teacher this year is Miss Baker.
Your teaching assistants and supportive team include Mrs Pugh, Mrs Barteneva, Miss Maddock, Mrs Ahern, and Mrs Clinton. We have many wonderful plans for this school year and we are excited for a year of laughs, learning and lots of fun!
On this page, you will find out about what your child will be learning this term so you can support them at home.
If you have any questions or queries about your child’s learning, please do speak with Miss Baker at the end of the day who will be happy to provide any support and guidance needed
Ways You Can Support Your Child At Home:
- Read with them on a nightly basis using books provided by the school. Books match children’s current phonics level so that they are accessible and support children to practise their segmenting and blending skills.
- Teach your children how to look after and respect books.
- Encourage your child to read other material apart from books, for example, signs, recipes or children’s magazines.
- Continue to support your child with all independent skills such as using a knife and fork correctly, getting dressed, tying shoelaces and securing buttons.
- Help your child’s number skills by practicing counting items in your home such as blocks, steps, cubes, toys, pasta, buttons or coins.
As part of our learning journey, in Year 1, we will be preparing your children for the Phonics Screening which will take place in June 2023.
If you would like to support your child at home or require further information please speak with your child’s teacher.
