Year 1

2023-24

A big welcome back after the Easter holidays! 

Our summer term will be full of fun activities and events which will be preparing us all for Year 2.

Weekly Blogs

As a school, we will now be uploading a weekly blog to our class pages each Friday to let you know what we have been getting up to! We will also continue to upload images of our learning journey to Twitter. Please follow the school account: @MickleTraffSch

PE

PE for Year 1 will take place on Monday and Thursday.  

If your child participates in an afterschool sports club, or has been chosen to represent MTVS in a sporting competition, they will be changing in school so should come to school wearing their school uniform.

Celebration assembly, #Hotchocolate and Golden Table

 Each week a child, from each class, will be chosen to be the star of the week. Parents are invited to join this celebration on Monday afternoons at 2.45pm. If your child is chosen, you will receive a smartmessage/email through School Spider the Thursday prior to the assembly.

During this assembly we will also announce who will be on eating their lunch on our golden table. Children are chosen during the week by MDAs, lunchtime coaches and teachers, for displaying excellent behaviour during lunchtimes. These children choose a friend and they both get an early lunch pass to join a member of staff on the golden table.

A special part of being Year 1 means you get to take home Freddy Teddy! Freddy Teddy will choose whose house to visit next in our Monday celebration assemblies. He will come home, accompanied with a diary for you to write down all the fun things you did together! We also love to see pictures too! If your child is chosen to have Freddy Teddy for the week, please ensure he is returned to school on the following Monday, ready to go for another weekly adventure! 

Thank you, 

Miss Holgate, Mrs Cox, Mrs Hayes, Mrs Johnson and Mrs Sykes
