Y1 Notices

Our last full week in Year 1! The children are making us all so proud with how motivated and grown-up they are being. 

Talk Time

Our weekly talk time helps develop an oracy skill. We have now introduced all our sentence stems for the term and will be working on how to use them. 

This week a discussion for home 

This week’s Talk Time topic is: What has been your favourite thing in this academic year?

Please continue to bring in any note linked to this topic so the children can share in class.

Maths Passport 

Use this link to access Maths Passport. In the PO you will find which country your child should be working on. We will assess children on these passports regularly.

When you have done this each week with your child, please make a note in your child’s PO. 

Please keep reading at home, and sign in the P.O. every day so your child continues to make great progress in reading. 

Monster Phonics

Please see the Google class and here for more information on supporting your child at home with phonics.

Note to Parents

Please remember to send a large carrier bag tomorrow- we will then send your child’s work home from the year. 

Dress code

We have noticed an increase in students wearing their own trainers to school so please remember that on school days, black footwear (shoes or trainers) should be worn.  Long hair should also be tied up. Stud earrings can be worn, but bracelets, necklaces and other earrings must not be worn to school. 

If a child is wearing a religious necklace please inform us via the Primary Office for approval. If approved, ensure it is tucked into shirts for health and safety reasons. 

Healthy Lunches & Nut Allergy

Please pack healthy lunches for your children, and note that we have nut allergies in the year group so no snacks should be sent containing nuts.
