Throughout the year, I will add useful resources to this section. 

Year 1 Reminders:

• Reading wallets, with HFW, a reading diary and a RWI book should be in school every day. (These will be changed every Friday in order to allow children time to build up fluency and accuracy in reading)

• Homework will be given out on the first Friday of each half term and will be due back on the last Wednesday of each half term with the homework grid completed.  

• Spellings - please access Spellzone for 15 minutes weekly. Please practise your HFW. 

• P.E. is on Monday and Tuesday. Please come to school wearing PE kit on these days. (No jewellery should be worn into school on these days please).

• Please can all children have a coat and water bottle in school every day.

Reading Stars 

Reading regularly is vital to children's learning. Please support your child by listening to them read as often as possible. We will do the same in school. It is also important that children hear us read to them too.

Children who read three times per week at home, and have three signatures in their reading diary, will receive one raffle ticket to be entered into the prize draw. If your child reads six times at home , they will receive two raffle tickets.

We will change our RWI books every Friday. Your child will be given a new set of HFW when they have been able to read all of their current HFW. using your username and pa
