Welcome to Year 1. Here is where you will find out what is going on in class and our routines.
Routines
Reading books will be send home as part of our Read, Write, Inc scheme. These will be sent home in accordance with your child’s phonics group. Children read their new story within their RWI story group 3 times before they bring their reading book home.
Children learn 3 new sounds per week. Word sheets will be sent home weekly for your child to practice their new sound within the words.
Library books will need to be returned every Friday – your child will receive a new story book each week to enjoy at home.
