1C

Welcome to Year 1!

Welcome to Year 1! Your children are about to begin their big adventure upstairs! We cannot wait to welcome your children into the Middle Phase. Let the adventure begin! 

Miss Clarke: hclarke@ravenstoneprimary.org.uk

Our approach throughout the year is to create a bridge to help ease the transition between the play based learning in Early Years and the more formal whole class based learning that is established in KS1.  All children will continue to work with an adult during focused learning tasks, whilst still being given time for independent, exploratory learning. 

Our class timetable will be added in September.

Year 1 Yearly Overview

Please note:

PE Kits

PE Days will be confirmed in September.

Please dress your child in their PE kits on both of these days; they do not need to change into their uniform after.  

Water Bottles

Please make sure you child brings in a clearly labelled water bottled each day that has already been filled with water. 

Home Learning

Home Learning Folders will be sent home on Friday and need to be returned on Wednesday for staff to review before the next piece is sent home.

Snacks 

All children are provided with a healthy snack (fruit or vegetables) from school at morning break.

Reading Books

You child will bring home their Reading Practice Book on Wednesday and it is essential that this book is returned the following Monday. If the book is not returned you will receive one reminder before being issued a charge for the book. This book is accompanied with a Reading Record. Please complete one entry in this for the period that you have the book at home. This book is 100% decodable and will have already been read three times by your child in their Reading Practice Sessions at school. 

You child will also bring home a 'Sharing Book' from the book box and will have the opportunity to change this book on Mondays and Fridays. This is a book to simply share and enjoy.  These texts are not decodable but meant as another opportunity for reading for pleasure.

Rights Respecting School

We are a Rights Respecting School and we believe every child, young person and the school community should learn about children's rights, putting them into practise every day. We hope that this will have a positive impact on children's lives by making:

- Children healthier and happier

- Children feel safe

- Children have better relationships

-Children become active and involved in school life and the wider world
