Class 1 2025 - 2026

Welcome back to Abbott- I hope you have all had a wonderful summer holiday! First, let me introduce myself: my name is Miss Henderson. I am also the Assistant Head Teacher and this will be my 13th year at Abbott. Joining us in Year 1 are Miss Harvey and Miss Evans: we are all extremely excited to welcome your children back to school. Although we don’t use Class Dojo in Year 1, I will be updating our class page on the school website every Friday so that you can see what we have been up to.

PE

PE days are Tuesdays. Your child will be expected to get themselves changed for PE in Year 1. We will obviously help them with this. You could also help with this at home by teaching the children how to do their buttons, shoe laces and turn their clothes inside out.

Reading

Please ensure that your child brings their reading book and record to school every day. It is so important that you are encouraging your child to read daily as this will help build fluency. 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; the idea is that they read the same book multiple times to become more fluent.

I can answer any quick questions at the door but if you have anything more in depth you want to discuss, then please send me an email or ring the school so that we can arrange time for this.

Kind regards,

Miss Henderson
