Year 1

Welcome back; I hope you have had a lovely, relaxing summer! I am sure that you and your child are now ready to start the new school year, so welcome to Year One! I am very much looking forward to getting to know you and your child, and I am excited to work alongside you to ensure we have a very enjoyable and productive year. 

The Year 1 class teacher is Miss Murphy. Our class LSAs are Mrs Manning and Mrs Markwood and Miss Ollig. Miss Pope will be teaching the class each Monday. 

A sample copy of our weekly timetable is below. This is subject to change, depending on what is happening each week but we try to follow it wherever possible. 

Phonics is really important in Year 1. This clip might be useful in supporting your child at home with 'pure' sounds. These are the common exception words that year 1s are expected to be able to spell by the end of the year. 

We ask that you read with your child at least three times a week, using their Read, Write, Inc book and record this in their reading diary. Reading books for pleasure is really important... and fun! 

We are at the door each morning and afternoon if you have any questions or concerns, or feel free to message me on SeeSaw. If you require a longer conversation, feel free to make an appointment. We will work together to support your child to 'dream big'!
