Class 1 2023 - 2024

Welcome to Class 1

Welcome back to Summer I hope you all had a restful Easter break. I can’t quite believe that we are now in the final term of the year! I am so proud of the progress the children have made so far, and I am excited to see this continue. Please see the curriculum overview attached.

Reading

The children were excellent at remembering to bring their reading book bags in daily- let's ensure this continues! It is so important that you are encouraging your child to read regularly. The books that the children bring home have keywords for you to discuss and questions to ask your child about what they have read.  Your child's reading book will be changed on Mondays and Thursdays and their library book will be changed on Mondays.

PE

PE days will change weekly. I recommend that your child brings their PE kit into school on a Monday and then takes it home on a Friday.

Morning Routine

After half term, to help with the demands of the morning routine, we will be providing free breakfast on the playground from 08:30. There will be toast and water available for anyone who wants it. We will also be changing the way we come into school. Your child is expected to be in the playground and lined up with their class by 08:45 which is when the school day starts. They will be greeted by their class teacher, who will then
lead them into the classroom. Anyone arriving after 08:45 will be classed as late. Once 08:55 is reached, classroom doors will be closed and children must enter through the main reception door, as learning will be well underway.
