Year 1
Welcome to Year 1. The teacher in Pine Class is Mrs Barstow and the teacher in Aspen Class is Mrs Trolley. Mrs Bagnall, Mrs Burden, Miss Gomersall and Miss Webster also work in Year 1.
PE days for Pine Class are Monday and Friday. PE days for Aspen Class are Monday and Wednesday. Please remember that all children need a suitable PE kit with them in school at all times and children should wear:
- a white t-shirt
- a pair of royal blue shorts
- appropriate footwear for outdoors
- a warmer tracksuit for outdoors
Please ensure that all jewellery including earrings, bracelets etc are removed on PE days.
Long hair also needs to be tied back.
Children should also bring their book bags to school everyday (with their book and reading record inside) along with a named water bottle. Please note that snack (fruit or vegetables) are provided in school so please just bring a water bottle (water only please).
Spelling and Maths homework is sent home every Friday and should be returned to school by the following Wednesday. It is important that you also read with your child every day for 10 minutes. This should be recorded in the reading record.
Every Friday, the 'speaker of the week' bag will be sent home with a child. Children are encouraged to bring four special items in the bag for example, photographs, books etc. They will then be given some time to talk about these items. Full details are attached to the bag, This will start as soon as the children have settled in Year 1.
We will have a weekly spelling test on a Friday. Please help your child practise their spellings. Children will get new spellings once they spell all of their current words correctly.

Well done to the year 1 children, they did really well with their spelling tests today. We will be changing the spelling test day to Thursday starting from next week as this fits into our timetable much better. Homework books will then be sent home on Thursday or Friday.
Thank you.
Mrs Barstow and Mrs Trolley.

Mrs Trolley and Mrs Barstow are looking forward to seeing you all in September! Please remember to bring your named water bottles (water only please) and a standard book bag as these will be stored in your trays. Please remember to bring your named PE kit as well. These can be kept in school just in case we do sport on a different day to normal. The PE kit list is on the year 1 class page.
Enjoy the rest of your Summer break!
Mrs Barstow and Mrs Trolley.
