Welcome to Year 1!
Thank you to everyone who attended our Home School Partnership Evening. Please find a copy of the presentation below.
Reading for Pleasure books
If you can donate a new Reading Pleasure book from our list below, it would be greatly appreciated. There are lots of new books added to the list for this year and as you can see we do not have many of these books.
Little Wandle Reading Books
On Friday 26th September, we have sent home reading books with the children who had their wallets in school. Please make sure that your child’s reading wallet with reading record and book is returned to school on Thursday and we will send home on Friday.
If you would like your child to borrow a hard copy, we ask for a £8 deposit to be paid on MCAS. This includes £1 for a zippy wallet to protect the books, with the remaining £7 held to cover any lost or damaged books. Any leftover balance will be refunded when your child completes the Little Wandle program. Please refer to let sent out on Friday for this information.
Drop-off information
Class teachers will collect their classes from the playground at 8:55 AM. When the bell rings, please guide your child to their class sign near the blue gate. To support a smooth transition into school, encourage your child to join their class line and walk in independently with their peers.
- Please note: Year 1 children should wait in the playground until 8:55 AM. They do not enter the building early like KS2 students, unless it is raining.
Pick up information
At the end of the day, Year 1 children can be collected from the area near the climbing frame at the far end of the playground. Please wait for the teacher to dismiss your child, as they have been asked to stay with their class until called.
Our PE lessons take place on Tuesdays and Fridays. On these days, children should come to school wearing their PE kit and remain in it for the duration of the day.
Water Bottles – Please ensure that your child brings a named water bottle to school with them each day so that they can hydrate regularly throughout the day.
Playtime Snacks – If your child is bringing a snack in for playtime, please ensure that it is a small/well portioned, healthy snack that can be eaten within a short space of time. No sweets, biscuits or food containing nuts or traces of nuts should be brought in.
