"I have come that they may have life and have it to the full!" John 10:10
While learning and playing, we help each other to live life to the full and follow the school values (REACH) to make sure we are the best we can be.
In other words...
In Year 1...
We laugh often.
We do our best.
We never give up.
We make mistakes.
We have lots of fun.
We have big dreams.

Welcome Meeting
It was lovely to see so many of you attend our welcome meeting on a very hot Thursday afternoon at the start of the year! For those who were unable to join us, here is the information we shared.
Welcome back to the Summer term! We are so proud of the journey our Year 1 children have made this year already and we're looking forward to a busy and fun term ahead with hopefully a good deal of sunshine! Here is a snapshot of our learning....
Home Learning and Support at Home
New reading books will be sent home every Friday; one ELS phonetically-decodable book, which we ask that you read four times a week if possible, and one sharing book to enjoy together with a focus more on comprehension than decoding. Please write the date and details of pages read in your child’s reading diary.
We will also send home weekly spellings to learn. These will be based around the Year 1 Common Exception words, numbers to 20 (written as words) and days of the week.
Activities and useful websites to support your child’s learning:
- Count on and back from different starting numbers within 100, particularly crossing the tens numbers
- Practise 1 more and 1 less than a number
- Practise number bonds to 10
- Play board games involving counting on/back like Snakes and Ladders
- Play Bingo – try saying ‘1 more than 8’, ‘1 less than 5’ etc.
- Real-life maths e.g. shopping, cooking, telling the time, measuring etc.
- Write for fun – letters, postcards, shopping lists etc.

Busy Fingers!
As soon as we arrive in the mornings we like to get busy! Here are some of the activities we do when we get to school as we wait for all our friends to arrive before the register is taken.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5...
We love numbers in Year 1 and we're learning to count on, count back, compare, order, recognise different number representations and so much more... often with the help of the Numberblocks! This Summer we are going to be learning all these skills up to 100!
Which is your favourite number?
Reminders:
- Children should come to school in PE kit on Mondays and Thursdays.
- Please ensure your child has a named water bottle in school.
- Reading books and record books should be brought into school every day.
