Phonics and Math homework is set on a Wednesday.

Phonics homework is sent on dojo. We will send out the virtual classroom phonics speed sound sessions.

Maths homework will come home on paper and we will send links throughout the week to some youtube clips linked to our current learning.

We expect children to read at least 3 times a week and bring their book log in to school every day.

PE is on a Friday for Year 1 in Summer term. Our PE kit consists of plain black shorts/ tracksuit bottoms/ leggings, red school jumper and plain white top. During the summer term we will be focusing on games and athletics. We will be getting ready for our sports day too!

We will be using the hall in the colder months and the playground/field in the warmer months so please make sure that your child has the school PE kit and some trainers suitable for using outside. Rules about school uniform can be found here. Please make sure every item is labelled.

Class Dojo We will be using class dojo to post announcements, files, events, and reminders to our Class Story to Share photos and videos of classroom activities, lessons, and more on our Class Story and through messages. Do not forget to log in to see what is happening in class.

If you need to report your child absence or pass on a message in the school day, please report on Parent app or with the office staff.

Toast and milk will continue to be served 8.40-8.50 for any children who would like it. Children will also have access to fresh water all day and fresh fruit during snack time in the afternoon.

The phonics screening check is a check of your child's phonics knowledge. It is a statutory assessment to ensure that children are making sufficient progress in the phonics skills to read words and are on track to become fluent readers who can enjoy reading for pleasure and for learning. We have a big push on phonics and reading in Year 1.
