The Year One staff support the children's learning as they make the transition from the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) to Key Stage One. The EYFS team consists of teachers Mrs Quinton (1BQ) and Miss Hubbard (1AH) and wonderful Teaching Assistants, Miss Moore, Mrs Cripps, Mrs Whitehead, Mrs Brown and Mrs Hensley. 

 

Year One parents and carers are welcome to come in to class for our Early Morning Task each day from 8:30am and stay until 8:45am when we begin the day together with a prayer. This is a great opportunity to complete a task with your child within their classroom. It is also an opportunity to have short conversations or pass messages onto one of the Year One staff members. If you are unable to stay during Early Morning Task then please do not hesitate to speak to your child's class teacher or another member of the team at home time and we will always be happy to help/support in whatever way we can.

 

In Year One it is so important that the children are reading every day. Your child’s reading scheme book will be changed on a Monday and Thursday after they have read to an adult at home three times and can show that they have a good understanding of what they have read. Reading the same text at least three times will help the children develop their comprehension as well as their segmenting and blending skills. 

 

Forest School and PE 

1BQ have Forest School on a Monday afternoon and PE on Wednesdays.

1AH have Forest School on a Friday and PE on Thursdays.

 

We are really looking forward to a wonderful year with your children ??
