Welcome to 1TB, 

I hope you have all had a well-deserved break and a lovely summer holiday with your friends and family. Myself and the Year 1 team cannot wait to get to know you all. I am looking forward to teaching you lots of interesting lessons and topics throughout the school year. The school year begins on the 5th September 2022. 

Reminders:

• Please remember to bring a water bottle to class every day, these can be kept in the water tray and refilled by an adult if needed. 
• Children will be given free fruit at playtime, if they wish they can bring their own fruit choice from home.
• Knowledge organisers will be available every half term to give more detail on the objectives for each subject. These will be uploaded to school spider for you to see, you can share them with your children and even create your own at home to help you remember the facts.
• Reading is extremely important. Every child should aim to read for at least ten minutes each evening. Grown-ups can also read to children using the bedtime story books available to take home from the classroom. 
• Home reading books -  All staff have recently had training using Read, Write Inc. Children will bring books home to read that they will be familiar with based on their lessons. It is incredibly important that children regularly have their book bags in school to progress through the scheme and change the books regularly.   
  • PE will be every MONDAY (the first session will be on the 12th of September) and children are asked to come to school PE ready with kit on. This includes pumps/trainers, joggers/leggings, t-shirt and jumper as it is outdoors. If possible please avoid hooded tops for safety.  Please only put children in trainers with laces if they can tie them independently.  
• Homework will be a termly project to begin the year and this task will support your child's learning in the classroom.
