Year 1 PE and XP Outdoors

12th January 2024Carly Schon

This Term children in Year 1 will be doing PE on Mondays. This is due to it being our turn for Mini Kixx Football skills! The children will be doing their PE session’s outdoors on the 3G pitch with their class teacher and a coach from the Mini Kixx team. Please can all children bring an outdoor PE kit suitable for the days weather. A warm tracksuit or joggers and a hoodie/jumper would be ideal. Children will also need a pair of trainers (no football boots with studs please for safety reasons).

On Tuesday’s children will also be doing XP Outdoors with Mr Kershaw. Again children will need clothing suitable for the weather and a change of shoes as they are likely to get muddy in the outdoor area and will need to remove their muddy shoes once indoors. Wellies or boots would be ideal and a a carrier bag to put muddy shoes into. If the weather is cold then hat/scarf/gloves may be needed too. Please ensure your children are prepared for the days weather conditions.

Reminder – Children in Year 1 need to have their PE kit in school on Tuesday’s. We suggest bringing the PE kit on a Monday morning and taking it home on a Friday.

PE kits must meet the school’s uniform policy:

Thank You,

Get Involved In Celebrating Arts Week

5th July 2023Rebecca Barnett

To celebrate arts week, we would like as many people as possible to create some artwork linked to the theme of ‘connecting across generations‘. Get together with your family or friends to create a piece of artwork. It can be anything you want! You could create a family portrait, a landscape of somewhere you like to visit or just your favourite picture.

It would be great to see everyone working together to create one piece of artwork. Send any pictures or your final art work to Miss Barnett or email them to [email protected] by Monday 17th July.

Here are some examples if you need some inspiration!

Year 1 Phonics

6th June 2023Carly Schon

This week in phonics we are comparing the long /a/ sounds. We have also been practising spelling words form the red word list.

In Shared Reading we are learning to read and write words ending in the suffixes -ness and -ing. We are also learning to write sentences using the subordinating conjunction ‘when’.

You can access our Shared Reading book here:

Year 1 Spellings

22nd May 2023Carly Schon

Thank you to everyone who has been taking the time to practise spellings at home. It is really making a difference to children’s writing. To be on track at the end of year 1 children need to be spelling many words accurately.

Today we have sent home our new set of expedition spellings. These will be tested after the half term break. In the meantime please regularly practise spelling words from the red word list, starting with the easiest words that the children learned to read in reception and building up to spelling the words we have learned to read in Year 1.

Children will be tested on their red word spelling after half term and we will be looking for children to be spelling an increasing number of words correctly ready for entering Year 2.

Again thank you for your support. It is so lovely to see the children coming to school excited to show off their learning and showing much more confidence and motivation in their writing lessons. Keep it up Year 1, we are very proud of you!
