Weekly Reminders
Here’s a quick reminder of our regular weekly activities:
🌳 Forest School – Mondays (afternoon) with Kris. Please ensure your child comes to school in appropriate outdoor clothing/waterproofs. No need to wear school uniform. Wellies should be brought in a bag to be left in school. Please note, the children should have their arms and legs covered. Forest school starts Monday 8th September.
🎵 Music Lessons – Tuesdays (morning) with Mrs White.
🏃‍♂️ P.E. – Thursdays (afternoon). Please send your child to school in their P.E. kit. Please click here for information about PE kit requirements. Thanks for helping your child come prepared!

📚 Your child will change their book every Friday.
Please make sure they bring their reading book(s) and reading record to school each week so we can keep track of their progress. Year 1 will start taking phonics books home in Week 2.

Year 1 Spellings

Please find below a list of spelling words for Year 1 children to practise.
These are words from the Year 1 NC spelling appendix and words your child will come across in their English lessons. Learning them will help your child build confidence and support their overall progress. Practising little and often at home each week can make a big difference!
