Welcome to Year One! 

In Year One you will be working with Miss Eccles.  Working alongside Miss Eccles is Mrs Townsend and Miss Reese.

Google Classroom 

Please keep checking Google Classroom as your homework will be set on here. Homework will be set Friday to Friday and will include a maths task and an english task. Spellings will also be posted on Google Classroom as well as being completed daily as our morning task.

Homework helps children by recapping learning that has taken place in the classroom. It is important that homework is completed every week. Homework will be set on Google Classroom. Please request paper copies from Miss Eccles if children work better this way. 

Home Reading

Reading is a priority at our school and we want our children and families to foster a love of reading. We will be sending a book each week that is linked to your child’s phonics ability, it is important that this book is read at least 3 x through the week to build up speed and fluency.

We will be completing lots of reading tasks in school and including talk through stories, introducing new vocabulary and building comprehension.

Phonics screening check:

Children in Year 1 throughout the country will be taking part in a phonics screening check during the same week in June.

It is designed to confirm whether each individual has learnt the sufficient phonics decoding and blending skills to an appropriate standard.

Please see the government guidelines set out for phonics screening:
