Key Reminders
- PE will be on a Monday Morning. Please make sure your child has their full PE kit in school each week.
- Homework will be given out on a Friday please can this be returned on a Monday morning.
- Reading Books will be sent home each night please can you read with your child each night.
- Your child can bring a water bottle into school with water only.
Phonics:
In year one we have daily phonics lessons which will progress at a speed suitable for each child. A helpful way to help children improve with their phonics at home is to read daily with them. If you would like additional support for your child’s phonics journey there are lots of helpful videos online. I would recommend the following: RWI Speed Sounds (Set 2 & 3)
Class Dojo:
Class Dojo is the most affective with to communicate with me, and is how I send out important updates and information. If you need to speak to me please do so via Class Dojo, or feel free to speak a member of staff from our class before or after school.
