General Information about Year 1
Reading Together - Reading is a cornerstone of learning. We celebrate children who read at home in class. Don't forget to record these moments in the reading log provided. Reading together is a small step that makes a big difference!
Reading books - The children will bring home a decodable 'Big Cat' reading book every week. This book will match the graphemes and tricky words that we have learnt in group reading and phonics.
PE - Every Friday children will have a PE lesson. Children should come to school in their PE kit on this day.
Water bottles - Please remember to send your child with a refillable water bottle everyday - please only fill these bottles with water.
Snack - All children will receive a piece of fruit in the afternoons but children will need to bring their own morning snack or they can purchase school hot snack for 20p - 30p per day. Please click here for more information relating to our healthy snack policy.
