Welcome to Year 1

2024-25

Wow this has already been a busy half term!!

We had a visit from our PCSO Chelsea Smalling on Monday to read a story with the children about stranger danger, pancakes for Shrove Tuesday, Mass for Ash Wednesday. 

We are celebrating World Book Day on Monday by wearing our pyjamas to school and getting snuggly while we read our books. 

You should have received a message to let you know about Parent Evenings. They are on Tuesday and Wednesday and the sign up sheet is in the foyer outside the hall.

If you want your child to enter the painting competition for Comic Relief Day they need to send 50p to school and will get a piece of A4 plain paper. They can paint whatever they want to. Paintings in by Monday 17th March.

A reminder please make sure your child's name is on all items of PE kit and the PE bags.

Thank you

Happy New Year!

We hope you all had a great holiday and we are looking forward to seeing you on Monday 6th January.

Please note that our PE days are Tuesday and Thursday this term.

Doodle maths is now available for your child. Log in passwords are stuck inside the front cover of your child's reading record. We have added some simpler maths to do as some people reported that it was rather challenging. Thank you for the feedback. 

Please send in food donations (tins or packets) next week for our Harvest Mass (for the Lords Larder)which takes place on Wednesday. These donations can be given to class teacher or taken to the foyer outside the school office.

On Thursday 10.10.24 it is World Mental Health Day and the children can wear an item of yellow clothing.

Relationships and Sex Education info...

Over the course of the year, our school will be delivering the Relationships and sex education (RSE) aspect of our PSHE programme. This programme is designed to help children make healthy choices and keep themselves safe during their school years and beyond. RSE has now become a legal requirement therefore all children are required to participate in lessons.  The design of the programme has taken into account the requirements of the statutory guidance, up-to-date best practice guidance, and the needs of our children.

The lesson coverage can be found in the RSE/PHSE planning overview throughout the year and in ‘Journey in Love’, an RSE Unit that is covered in the Summer Term. 

Any questions, please ask.
