Seesaw

Please check Seesaw regularly, especially on Fridays, as this is where we will post homework, updates and reminders about any upcoming events in school. We will also post photographs/ videos celebrate the children's learning.

Reading Books

Children will be given a new decodable reading book every Friday.  They will bring this book home and we ask that they read their book aloud, to an adult at least twice. Children will also be allocated books online from Oxford Owl.  Log in details can be found inside your child's blue reading record.  We would encourage you to add a brief comment (including date, title, pages read) in your child's blue reading record.  

In addition children will be able to choose a 'Reading for Pleasure' book from the school library to take home on a Friday. 

Please encourage them to look after these books and return all books to school the following Thursday. 

Homework

Year 1 children will be set homework every Friday via Seesaw. Please make sure you are logged into your child's Seesaw account to access their homework actiivty. As we are aiming to reduce the paper we use as a school, we will try and set homework that can be completed on a sheet as well as on Seesaw. The focus of the homework will alternate each week between Math and Phonics/ English. 

PE

Children should come into school in their PE kits on their allocated PE days.  The allocated PE days for each class are:

Year 1SS - Monday and Friday 

Year 1DH - Tuesday and Friday
