YEAR 1 Meet the Teacher Mrs Banks and Mrs Liming
WELCOME TO YEAR 1 We are thoroughly enjoying the Year 1 class. We would like to start the evening by showing you around our Year 1 classroom. Please ensure you are on mute and we will answer any written questions on the right hand side of your screen.
MORNINGS The start of the day is at 8.55am Register is taken at 9.00am Urgent concerns- please speak to us on the playground or arrange to see us at the end of the day if you need more time. Please use the DLP1 email. It has been wonderful to see the children coming into school with great independence!
CURRICULUM CONTENT We will be teaching the full Year 1 National Curriculum. Mrs. Banks on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Mrs Liming on Thursdays and Fridays. The work is varied to cater for the different abilities of the children and the children s interests. The children are ability grouped for English (SFA Success for All) and work will be differentiated for all other subjects. We have three teaching assistants working in the class - Mrs Turner (every morning), Mrs Southey ( during English and one afternoon) and Mrs Payne (Thursday afternoons). On Tuesday afternoons the class are taught P.E. by Mrs Paskell and Ms Lewis will teach the children on a Thursday afternoon.
HOMEWORK Reading: The children will change their book weekly on allocated days. It is expected that you will read at home a minimum of five times a week. The home reading record is to detail what has been read. RIBIT (Read In Bed It s Terrific) stamps for signed reads on 5 different nights in a week. 10 stamps = a free book. Phonics / Spelling: Weekly phonics / spelling sheets will be sent home on a Friday Spellings will be tested on the following Friday. Spellings will include tricky words and words that exemplify the phonemes and taught in class during that week. Maths: Maths homework is given out on a Friday. Homework is always given out in paper copy and is also attached on to our google classroom page.
PE The children will have P.E. twice a week, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Please ensure children come to school in P.E. kit on these days. Ditton Lodge purple T-shirt Plain dark shorts. Outdoor Kit: jogging bottoms or leggings (dark coloured) A school jumper or Ditton Lodge hoodie. Trainers or plimsolls. Earrings should not be worn on P.E. days for safety reasons.
SCHOOL UNIFORM Please ensure that your child comes to school every day in the correct school uniform and that school shoes, not trainers, are worn. All school uniform should be named. Please ensure long hair is tied up.
GOING HOME If your child is going home with another adult, please speak to the class teacher or inform the office via email in the morning. If you have to make alternative arrangements at the end of the school day due to unforeseen circumstances, please inform the school office. The end of the school day for Year 1 is 2.50pm. Please be prompt in collecting your child.
GENERAL Early Work is an important start to the day so please make sure your child arrives promptly in school each morning. It is really helpful if your child can bring a water bottle to school every day (in addition to a packed-lunch drink as children are not allowed back into the classrooms). This needs to be water rather than squash. Please no jewellery, watches, sweatbands or charity bands. A very busy curriculum means that Show and Tell will be on a rotation during class assembly on a Thursday afternoon. During the Autumn Term the theme will be our favourite books. It is really helpful if your child can have a small packet of tissues in their book bags. Please check Google Classroom regularly. We are regularly updating photographs and information to share with you.
PHONICS SCREENING CHECK In June, all Year 1 children across the UK take part in the Phonics Screening Check. The children read 40 words 20 are real words and 20 are nonsense words. These words are based on the phase 5 letters and sounds curriculum that we deliver in Year 1. Throughout the year we continually prepare the children for this through our daily phonics lesson.
ANY QUESTIONS Thank you for your continued support. Together we look forward to working with you and your child.
