Year 1/2 2024 - 2025
Miss Hewetson
Welcome to Year 1 and 2
Miss Hewetson is your child's class teacher this year and the children will be supported on different days through the week by Mrs Threlkeld and Mrs Graham.
Below you'll find some general information about the class. Click on the red bar at the bottom for the learning overview for this year.
PE
For the first half of this summer term, our PE sessions will be on a Monday and a Friday. Both sessions will be outdoors - weather permitting! Please ensure you have your outdoor PE kit with you, including trainers, as outlined under our key information tab.
Reading
Ideally, children should be reading daily to an adult out loud. Please date and initial the reading record each time your child reads. These will be checked weekly and your child will be listened to read in school both within class during the week and daily during phonics lessons.
For those children on the Read Write Inc Phonics programme, they will bring home the phonics book they have learned in school and also a Read Write Inc book bag book. They will also bring home sound sheets to practise new sounds they have learned.
Once children have completed the Read Write Inc phonics programme, they will bring home a reading book appropriate to their reading level.
All children will also bring home a library book. This is a book of your child's choice and may be a book above or below your child's current reading ability. This is to support reading for pleasure and should be shared with an adult and read to the child.
Homework
In addition to daily reading, your child will bring home homework to support other areas of learning such as learning maths facts, handwriting or other topic work.
Lunchtimes
The children in Year 1 and 2 are on the first lunch sitting and will have their lunch in the main hall from 12pm.
