Year 1

PE Days:

Indoor (Wednesday)

Outdoor (Thursday)

‍

Comfortable, weather appropriate shoes and clothing should be worn.

No cropped tops please!

Reading & Phonics:

We are passionate about children learning to read; we ask that grown ups read with their children at least 3 days a week and record this by signing their child’s reading record.

Reading books will be changed every Friday to correspond with our phonics sessions.  

All children will have hourly phonics lessons every day. We follow the ELS Phonics scheme (Essential Letters and Sounds).

Spellings:

Spellings will be given on a Thursday and will be tested the following Thursday. Spellings correspond to the sounds that children have been learning in their Phonics lessons.

‍

Please see your child's reading record for their weekly spellings; some children may be given additional/alternative spellings to practice.
