Welcome to Class One
Welcome to Class 1
In Class 1, the children will be taught by Mrs Ashley, Mrs Ruddock and Mrs Kay, our Teaching Assistant. Our priorities are for your child to feel happy, comfortable and safe in order to help them make the most of their learning.
We will be using stickers and postcards as individual rewards when children have worked particularly well as a team or really hard individually. We will be working towards ten whole class rewards using treasure which the children are helping me choose at the start of the year.
Please bring your PE kit to school on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Please also only bring your school bags in on a Friday, as that is our homework and book changing day, and our cloakroom can be quite a squash and a squeeze.
In art lessons we aim to get creative, which can sometimes be quite messy! If you have a spare old shirt or apron, then we would really appreciate these being brought into school to keep your child’s school uniform clean this year.
Children bring books in to change and leave them in the blue basket in the cloakroom with their reading record, and a Favourite Fifty book will also be changed on a Friday. Spellings will be given out on a Friday to be tested on the following Friday.
There are lots of wonderful online resources you can use to support learning at home including Purple Mash and Oxford Owl. I look forward to meeting you all and I am always happy to chat.
