Welcome to Year 1
We are excited to welcome you and your child to Year 1!
Our teaching team includes Ms Harwood, Mrs Ellender, Mr Allaby (Class Teachers), Mrs Hollingworth (Additional Teaching Staff) and Miss Tetley (Learning Support Assistant).
We are proud to share our bookshelf for the Autumn Term, that links to the Character Traits – Kindness, Curiosity, Integrity, Bravery, Citizenship & Gratitude. Our new bookshelf contains a selection of high-quality texts to inspire our curriculum.
Our bookshelf texts are:
- ‘Mrs Mole, I’m Home!’ by Jarvis
- ‘Odd Dog Out’ by Rob Biddulph
- ‘Lost and Found’ by Oliver Jeffers
- ‘Stick Man’ by Julia Donaldson
- ‘Dragon Post’ by Emma Yarlett
- ‘Leo and the Octopus’ by Isabell Marinov
Establishing strong relationships with our pupils and their families is our priority and we believe that communication is integral to your child’s success. Class teachers and Learning Support Assistants (LSAs) are available both before and after school to receive messages and celebrate successes.
Please look on our website for resources to help you support your child’s learning at home.
