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.
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. If you need help logging onto seesaw please let a member of staff know.
P.E.
Year One's P.E. days are Thursdays and Fridays. Please come into school on these days wearing a school P.E. kit and black pumps or trainers. Children MUST NOT wear earrings on these days!

Knowledge Organisers, Curriculum Letters and Newsletters
These will be added each half term and sent via seesaw. They will give you an overview of what your child will be learning that half term. You can also use our ideas and tips to support your child's learning at home.
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!
