The Year 1 Team

Monday - Wednesday - Mrs McCallum

Thursday & Friday - Mrs Taylor

Mrs Sykes will be supporting our class across the week. 

Getting started..

PE

PE for Year 1 will take place on Wednesday and Thursday. Please ensure they have a named indoor and outdoor PE kit available as we will be getting changed in school on these days. Children will need..

• a light blue tshirt
• joggers/ leggings for outdoor PE
• shorts for indoor PE
• a sports hoodie for outdoor PE
• suitable trainers for outdoor PE

Please name all items of clothing, as this will help us to ensure that lost items are returned to your child. A reminder that earrings are to be removed for PE lessons. Thank you.

Water bottles

Please can all children bring a named water bottle to school daily. Water bottles will be kept in our classroom on our water bottle trolley and children will have access to them throughout the day. We kindle ask that bottles are filled with water only and not juice.

Homework and Reading books

Once we have settled in to our new school routine, reading books will be sent home and homework will begin. Homework and reading books will be given out on Friday and need to be returned the following Thursday. Reading books will be changed at the end of the week. We will collect in all reading books on a Thursday and give out new books on a Friday.

Please ensure that you are recording any reading that they do at home in their reading diaries.

If you are interested in volunteering to hear children read in school time we welcome your support!

Freddy Teddy

A special part of being in 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 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, 

Mrs McCallum & Mrs Taylor
