I hope you and your child had a wonderful summer break. Mrs Robinson and I are delighted to welcome your child to Class 1 and look forward to an exciting year ahead.
The Autumn Term is an important time as children settle into Year 1 and continue to build on their Reception experiences. Through a range of practical, creative and engaging activities, children will develop their independence, confidence and key skills across the curriculum. From exploring stories and numbers to investigating the world around them, there will be many opportunities for learning, discovery and fun.
This year, we will be using the Oak National Academy curriculum alongside our Maths Mastery approach to support teaching and learning across Year 1. Oak's carefully sequenced lessons help children build knowledge and skills progressively, while Maths Mastery develops a secure understanding of mathematical concepts. Phonics will continue to be a key part of our daily routine, with lots of opportunities for children to practise and apply their learning.
A few reminders:
• Jewellery should not be worn in school, except for small stud earrings.
• Earrings must be removed on PE days for health and safety reasons.
• PE lessons will take place on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Please ensure PE kits are kept in school and clearly labelled.
• As the weather becomes cooler, children may bring tracksuit bottoms and a jumper for outdoor PE. PE kits can be purchased from the school office if required.
Children will receive regular homework throughout the year, and we encourage them to read at home at least three times each week to develop their fluency, comprehension and confidence.
Thank you for your continued support. Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions or concerns.
