Sparrows Year 1 2024 - 2025

Welcome to Year 1 Class Page!
Autumn 1 2024
 
We hope you have all had a lovely Summer break and are excited to be moving into Year 1.
We are looking forward to the adventures that we will have together over the coming months!
In Sparrows team this year we will have Mrs Ducker and Mr Clark, plus Mrs Burrows who will be working with us each morning. Mrs Austin will also join us at different times. 
Please find below an overview of our learning for the coming half term.

We will continue to teach phonics daily in Year 1, recapping Phase 3 digraphs and Phase 4 blends before moving on to teaching Phase 5 phonics. 

During Year 1 our major focus is to become fluent, confident readers. Please continue to read with your child daily for 5-10 minutes as this is essential in supporting their fluency, comprehension and love of reading. While reading with your child try to discuss the books too: what has happened so far, what they think may happen next, who are their favourite characters…

P.E will be taught twice a week, on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Please make sure that your child has the correct kit and trainers for these sessions. As it starts to get colder, it is advisable that the children bring jogging bottoms, a warm zip up hoodie / jumper, a hat and gloves for when we go outside for P.E. plus their usual blue shorts and white t-shirt for indoor lessons. Please ensure that all PE kits, and sweatshirts, are named so that they return to their rightful owners. 
 
Could you also ensure that children bring their water bottle, containing still water, to school each day.
 
 
We are lucky to once again have an outside space that is solely for our use. In order to make the most of this space we would like all children to have their own wellies that can remain in school. This will mean that regardless of the weather they will be able to enjoy time outside.
 
 
As always, if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact us.
