Welcome back to School Year 1. 

Welcome back everyone! We are so excited to begin our new journey in Year 1.  We are delighted to have you all in our class, and look forward to a fantastic year ahead.  For regular updates please check our class page and Tapestry.  

September 2023 updates. 

Snack 

In year 1, the children will receive free fruit for schools. They will be offered a variety of fruit each day and will not need to bring in any snack money. 

Tapestry

Tapestry remains the main way we will communicate and share your child’s learning with you. We will share news, pictures, videos and messages. We will also share links to online books and links to phonics videos for additional practise. Please log-in regularly and continue to share your learning from home. You can also use Tapestry to share news or pictures for show and tell. The children love sharing news with their friends.

Reading

In Year 1, children will bring home 1 book bag book and 1 library book each week. The book bag book is matched to each child’s’ current phonic level and is designed to help the children build confidence and fluency and should be read 3 or 4 times. The library book is chosen by the children and is for you to read as a family and enjoy together. You can read this to or with your child, just enjoy! The children will also read once a week with an adult. This will b recorded in reading records. In addition, the children will read every day in their phonics sessions.
