• Queen of Hearts Poems

 Welcome to Year 1!

 Happy New Year!  All the staff hope that you have had a lovely holiday and we are really looking forward to welcoming the children back in school. 

The teaching staff this term continues to be myself, Mrs Gordon and Mrs Judge, who will be our TA. On Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, Mrs Hesketh will be covering the class, teaching a number of different lessons such as PSHE, RE and Topic. We are also very fortunate this term to have a student teacher with us.  His name is Mr Mcgeachie and he will be teaching your children alongside myself.

P.E.  is on Mondays and Fridays.  Can you please ensure the children have their PE kit in school on these days.

Reading - Your child will be read with on a regular basis in school so can you please ensure they have their book bags in school daily and that their book and reading record are in it. On the front of their reading record is the day they will be read with in school.  

Homework - Spellingframe and Numberbots homework is set weekly.  We ask that you read with your child at least 3 times a week and record it in their record book.

Spellings - Spellings will be given out each week on a Friday to be tested the following Friday.  It would be helpful if you could practice your child's spellings daily.

This term our topic is Toys, Toys,Toys  - we will be looking at different types of toys, the history of toys and how they have changed over time. Please have a look at our topic plans for more detailed information about what your child will be learning.
