Welcome to Year 1
We are very much looking forward to starting the new term with you! Please ensure your child comes to school with a book bag, water bottle and waterproof coat each day.

PE and Forest School
PE for Year 1 will take place on Friday. Please ensure they have a named indoor and outdoor PE kit available as we will be getting changed in school on this day.
Forest School will take place on Tuesday afternoon. On this day, your child will be learning outdoors, whatever the weather, with a dedicated forest school leader during the autumn term. Please send your child into school wearing old clothing that they can get dirty in and waterproof outer layers (coat and trousers or a puddlesuit). Please also bring a bag containing waterproof shoes that they can change into for the afternoon (wellies or walking boots).
Please name ALL items of clothing as this will help us to ensure that lost items are returned to your child.
Homework and Reading books
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 your child brings their books to school every day and 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 Bamford, Mrs Taylor, Mrs Cox and Mrs Sykes.
