Class 1
Hello Year One!
Update RE spelling test: We will now place the spellings for the week inside reading records to help ensure they don't get lost (alongside updating the website each week).
Polite reminder to continue bringing in reading records and books each day- this helps keep us on track and ensures children receive the right support. We encourage reading 5X a week but the phonics book must be read 3X before changing- please do also read around your child's interests to stimulate a passion for reading!...
Thank you!

Curriculum Overview
Please ensure your child has a water bottle they can access during the day (learning is thirsty work!)
PE Days
Wednesdays & Fridays.
Home Learning
During the Autumn term, home learning is kept to a minimum.
Please do continue to read with your child x5 a week, re-reading their phonics books x3 before they are changed. Please record this in your child's reading record and return to school.
From October Half Term, children will be given a 'reading for pleasure' book that they can take home each week. This will often be a more 'challenging' read intended for enjoying with an adult.
Spelling Test
Children will complete an informal spelling test every Monday, with new words provided for practice to go home that afternoon. The test will be composed of five or ten Common Exception/Tricky words or High Frequency words.
The test will look like this:
- The word is read.
- The word is put into a sentence.
- The word is read again.
- The children write the word.
