Year 1

My name is Miss Ridley and I am the year 1 teacher this year!
In my spare time I enjoy finding fun places to walk my dog Millie and I always make sure to find a nice place to stop for coffee along the way!

Mrs. Pearson will be your teaching assistant to support your learning this year. We are so excited to welcome you to our year 1 classroom and have a lovely year. Our day is more structured than it was in Reception, but the children still access learning through continuous provision and play. We learn in many ways, such as on the carpet, in groups, outdoors and interactively.

Reading is a very important part in developing the children’s learning, which is why it is important to read at home when possible. Reading for five to ten minutes is most effective, especially to support their learning ready for the phonics screening test which children complete at the end of the year!
Reading books are changed once a week, as well as spellings which are handed out as homework on a weekly basis.

PE takes place every Monday and Tuesday morning and PE kits are provided.
