Welcome to Year 1! We are a fabulous group of children and teachers who love to learn and work together. We are learning to become more independent in everyday tasks and are beginning to take responsibility for our own learning. We strive to Be A Star through our school values of Strength, Teamwork, Ambition and Respect.
Phonics is taught every day to develop essential reading knowledge (the phonics scheme we use is: Little Wandle). The children are given books which match their phonics stage so they can continue to practice and build fluency within their reading. Each class has an individual ‘class book’ that is read to the pupils aiming to expose pupils to a range of different texts, to develop pupils’ interests within a wider range of types of books.
Every week we will be participating in PE. Please make sure that children’s PE kits are in school all week. We have PE lessons on a Thursday and Friday. We ask that long hair be tied back and all jewellery, including earrings, must be removed.
PE kits should consist of:
To minimise cases of lost property, please ensure all items of clothing are named.
PE kits should stay in school in the children’s lockers until the end of term.
In Year 1 we expect children to read at least 3 times a week at home. Please listen to your child read and ask them questions about the text.
We do not change books daily as we encourage reading texts more than once to build up fluency and expression. Books will be changed each Thursday. Outside the classroom on a Thursday after school, there will be a box of ‘You read’ books from which you can choose a book to take home and read with your child. Children will continue to have an 'I Read' and a 'We Read' book. The 'I Read' book will be familiar to the children and they should be able to read it with confidence
We also ask that children access Numbots to enhance and consolidate their number knowledge.

Welcome to Year 2! We are an amazing group of children who love to learn. As the year progresses, we encourage Year 2 to become more independent, both with their work and organising themselves for learning. We expect them to strive to Be A Star through our school values of Strength, Teamwork, Ambition and Respect.
Every week we will be participating in PE. Please make sure that children’s PE kits are in school all week. We have PE lessons on a Monday and Thursday. We ask that long hair be tied back and all jewellery, including earrings, must be removed.
PE kits should consist of:
To minimise cases of lost property, please ensure all items of clothing are named.
In Year 2 we expect children to read at least 3 times a week at home. Please listen to your child read and ask them questions about the text. We do not change books daily as we encourage reading texts more than once to build up fluency and expression.
At the start of Year 2, children will continue to have an 'I Read' and a 'We Read' book. The 'I Read' book will be familiar to the children and they should be able to read it with confidence. As the year progresses, some of us will progress to having a book through Collins e-readers. More details of this will follow later in the school year.
We also ask that children access Numbots to practice their addition and subtraction facts, and from after Christmas use Times Table Rock Stars to practise multiplication and division.
