Transition to Year 1

At the start of the year, we will be echoing a lot of the play-based learning your children did when they were in Reception to help make their transition easier. When the class is happily settled and ready for a more formal style of learning, we will gradually introduce it.

Homework

After the children have been in school for a few weeks, homework activities will be sent home and further information will be given.  Regular reading with your child is the most important thing you can do so if you do nothing else- Read, Read, READ! 

PE

PE will be on a Monday and Wednesday each week. At the beginning of the autumn term please bring your children's PE kit into school. For the first term, children will independently get themselves changed into their PE kits at school. Please ensure all jewellery is removed including earrings.

See our curriculum map to find out about the different sports and skills the children will be taught this year. 

Snack 

The children in KS1 receive a healthy snack in the morning. If they would like a healthy snack for afternoon break, please feel free to put one in their bag.
