Welcome to the Year One's class page!
Year One at All Saints' continues to be an exciting year for your child, as they continue their journey through school.
Our Year One classroom is a positive learning environment where praise and encouragement are used to motivate and support all of the children. All we ask is that every child tries their best and develops a resilient attitude towards learning where they are willing to have a go and to never give up when the going gets tough. The nature of the classroom will nurture the self-esteem of the children, equipping them with the confidence to believe in themselves.
Reading
In Year One we encourage the children to read every day. Studies show that children make more progress when they complete regular reading at home and in school.
Reading books and diaries should be sent into school every day with your child, so that children can read to an adult in school. Reading books will be changed twice weekly, on a Tuesday and on a Thursday. Please make sure to write any comments and sign your child's reading diary each time they have read at home.
Seesaw
We use Seesaw to share our hard work and learning in the classroom. We also encourage parents to share their children's learning and experiences from home.
P.E.
Year One's PE this half-term will be on a TUESDAY and a THURSDAY. It is essential that children come to school in their full school PE kit on these days, in order to take part. Prior to school, please ensure that children have removed any earrings on these days and that long hair is tied up.
Authors of the Half-Term
Every half-term, to further promote the children's love of reading, we will be finding out about a new author and exploring several of their books. The children love to vote for a story at home time (choice of two, both written by our author of the half-term) and listen to the winning one!
