Welcome to Year 1 - Fir

Our Year 1 Team consists of Miss Chaudhry, Miss Keeling and Mrs Barker in Fir class.

Mrs Chaudhry

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

Mrs Barker

Hi, I am Mrs Barker and I am a Teaching Assistant in Fir class.

Miss Keeling

Mr Ward

Hi, I am Mr Ward. I am a PPA Teacher here at Little Heath and IT Subject Leader. I cover a range of subjects and particularly enjoy PE, music and art lessons. This year I will be delivering music lessons across the school. As well as music theory and appreciation, I will be teaching a range of instruments to all year groups.

P.E. Days:

All children need their PE kit in school on a Thursday and Friday. 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 chose 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

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.
