Please make sure that each day you bring into school your reading book and reading record. You will also need a water bottle (no juice please). Our PE days will be a Tuesday (indoor) and Thursday (outdoor), please wear your PE kits on those days.

 
   

Homework

Homework will be set each week on Friday and will need to be returned the following Wednesday. Spellings will be tested on a Thursday.

Children need to read at home at least five times a week and make sure they have their diary signed by an adult. Children have the opportunity to visit the Library each week and are issued a Library book to take home. Please ensure Library books return to school each week so they can be changed for a new one.

Our Class Saint

Our Year 1 Class saint is Saint Francis of Assisi

He is the Patron Saint of the environment, animals, and birds because of the respect he gave to all God's creatures.

Educational Visit

In the Spring Term we are hoping to visit Ryton Pools to learn more about animals including humans.
