Welcome to Year 1 - Fir

Our Year 1 Team consists of Miss Chaudhry, Miss Baker

Miss Chaudhry

Hi, I’m Miss Chaudhry and I teach Fir class. I enjoy teaching exciting and engaging lessons to help children explore their curiosity. 

Miss Baker

Hi, I am Miss Baker and I am a Teaching Assistant in Fir class. I really enjoy reading with children because it sparks their imagination and builds their confidence.

P.E. Days:

All children need their PE kit in school on a Tuesday and Wednesday. Our PE kit is plain t-shirt, black shorts/leggings/jogging bottoms and black pumps.

Homework:

All children are expected to read at home as often as they can and rehearse their number facts at home. Their creative homework task is set at the start of the term and teachers will set a date for this to be returned. Children choose from a variety of tasks linked to their learning that term. 

Reading Books:

The children will choose a library book on a weekly basis. The children visit the library on a Tuesday and will need to return the book they have and they can then choose another book.

• To be able to read quickly and accurately with a great understanding of the words and language used
• To know the school values and show them consistently all around school to everyone
• To attend school as much as possible
• To use and be able to explain the important language in all subjects both when speaking and in our writing

                                                                    Year 1 Long Term Plan 

The children are assessed all year against the National Curriculum for all subjects. The children focus on RWInc phonics and are assessed each half term to see what they have learnt. They sit the phonic screening test in school in June. We hold a meeting to tell you all about this. Click on this link to find out more.
