Welcome to 1B!

Welcome back! This year is going to be a little bit different to other years but we can't wait to have a classroom full of happy children again!

This is our class page where you can find out about all the exciting learning that takes place in year 1. We will keep our page updated so you can follow our learning journey with us and see all the interesting activities that we get up to . 

Our time slot for the start of our school day is 9.10 - 9:20 and our time slot for the end of the day is 3:20 - 3:30. We will be in a year group bubble so the children in Year 1 will have lunch and playtimes together.

 If you have any questions or concerns please don't hesitate to talk to us.

Equipment

This year we would like children to bring the following things with them:

• Lunch box/bag - if not having a school dinner 
• Drinks bottle
• Reading book and diary on a Monday and a Friday
• Pencil Case (if possible, please bring a pencil, sharpener, rubber, variety of pencil crayons, felt tips. ruler)  Any resources you can not provide will be provided by school. 
• Coat

Please note, children will not be required to bring many items to school and therefore should not need a rucksack. 

Home Learning

We aim to get 4 pieces of homework in their home learning diary a week. This can be anything from reading a couple of pages of their book, practising times tables to attending a club. For each piece of home learning your child will receive a merit. These are counted up at the end of each half term and go towards home learning awards which your child can then use in the homework hut. 

15 merits = Bronze award 

20 merits = Silver award

25 merits = Gold award 

PLEASE NOTE Your child will change their reading books once a week on a Monday and they will need to be returned to school on a Friday to be quarantined ready for the following week.

PE

This year the children will be coming into school dressed in their PE kits.

Our PE days are: 

Tuesday - Outdoor P.E

(Please ensure they are in warm trousers and a jumper for the winter months)

Wednesday - Indoor P.E with Sports Plus

This term, our topic is 'Oh I do like to be beside the seaside'.

We kick started this term with a Summer Holiday theme. The children came to school in their favourite summer clothes and completed lots of fun activities including an afternoon in the sun with lawn games and summer themed learning activities.
