Welcome to Class 1

Welcome to Autumn Term of Class 1!

Class 1 is a welcoming environment that provides a seamless transition from Reception in Key Stage 1. Our lessons are exciting and engaging and our classroom provides lots of opportunities for learning, collaboration, talk and play.

PE and Forest School

Class 1 will come into school in their PE kits on Monday and Thursday. We will have forest school sessions on alternate Fridays. Please ensure that children bring their forest school kit in a separate bag.

Homework

Whilst we are aware that the children are very busy and need time to relax, socialise and play, a small amount of homework will help them to develop independence and revisit learning from the classroom.

Daily reading 10 minutes

Daily spellings 10 minutes doing Look, Say, Cover, Write, Check.

Spellings sent home on Monday, in on Friday. Test Friday.

Weekly task (Maths or English) – 15/20 minutes. Sent home on Friday due back by Wednesday.
