Year 1
Miss Rowley and Miss Smith welcome you to Year 1!
Below there are lots of resources for learning. We have also given you access to all our time to read sheets that we'll use this year. Please read with your child as often as possible, preferably daily, to help with their reading skills.
Reminders:
Timings for the School Day:
Start- 8:45
Lunch- 12:00-12:45
Home time- 3:15
PE is on a Monday with Miss Rowley and on Wednesday with Miss Walker this half term. Children will get changed into PE kits on Mondays and Wednesdays. No earrings on both days please. Can children please leave their PE kits in a bag at school. Please can children practise getting changed themselves to ensure they are confident with tricky things like buttons and zips.
Have your child read to you at least 3 times a week and record in their reading record. We will use this to keep you up to date with their reading. We send time to read sheets home daily as well as spellings on a Friday- please look at these with your child. It is so important.
Remember to bring a raincoat to school every day, book bag and water bottle. As the weather is getting hotter please bring a sunhat and apply sun cream.

Fab Phonics in Year 1!
In year 1, we love phonics! We are working hard to learn our letter sounds in our reading and in our writing. We have fun reading 'alien' and 'nonsense' words using our fab phonics to decode the word.
Here are some useful links to support learning phonics at home.
