Year One

Welcome to Year 1

Teacher - Mrs McCulloch

Teaching Assistant - Mrs Collier

The transition from Reception to Year 1 marks a significant change in a child's educational journey.

It is a crucial step for children, as it shifts from a play-based learning environment to a more structured and formal educational setting. Year 1 introduces a curriculum that emphasizes core subjects like English, Maths, and Science.

With the right support and preparation, most children can navigate the transition successfully. Engaging with teachers, fostering independence, and maintaining open communication will help children feel more confident and excited about their new learning journey.

PE Days

PE will be on Wednesday and Thursday.

It is important that your child brings their PE kit on these days. A white T-shirt, black or blue shorts and pumps. You may also wish to bring tracksuit bottoms and a jacket for the cooler months.

Please remove jewellery and earrings, or cover with plasters, before school.

Reading books

Please ensure your child brings their reading book and record to school everyday. It is important that your child has the opportunity to read their book with you at home. The children receive dojo points for reading at home. Please comment in their reading record once they have read with you so that we know- books are changed every Friday.

Snack & Water Bottles

Your child can bring a healthy nut free snack to eat at playtime. They can also bring their own water bottle to drink at school throughout the day.

Our Topic for Autumn 1 will be all about Ourselves.
