MEET THE YEAR ONE TEAM

Welcome back to the new school year 2023 to 2024!

Mr Davies is Pear Class Teacher and Miss Caldwell is Apple Class Teacher. We are lucky to have Mrs Gormley and Mrs Hughes as our Teaching Assistants in Year One. We all look forward to lots of fun learning throughout the year.

Our parent meeting is on Thursday 7th September at 3pm and 5pm.

Pear Class and Apple Class have Outdoor and Indoor PE on MONDAY and WEDNESDAY; your child should come to school dressed in their PE kit on that day (white t-shirt (black or navy jacket for outdoor PE when colder weather), black or navy shorts (tracksuit bottoms for outdoor PE depending on weather) and black trainers/pumps). If your child has pierced ears, could you please take the earrings out before bringing your child to school. Thank you.

READING BOOKS: Your child will be given a new phonically decodable reading book each Friday, which they will keep and read as often as possible at home, before returning it to school the following Tuesday. You child will also bring home a 'sharing book', which they will not be able to read on their own - this book is to read to and share with your child to develop a love of reading. Please keep these books in the plastic folder provided in your child's book bag (no back-packs please, as we have limited space on our coat pegs - thank you).

We will be doing lots of outdoor learning in Year One, so could you please bring in a pair of wellies to keep in school and ensure your child has a waterproof coat with them each day, as we use the outdoor space in all weathers.

Please do come and speak to a member of the Year One team if you have any questions.
