P.E

PE will be on Tuesdays (outdoor PE) and Fridays (indoor PE). Your children should come into school that day wearing their PE kit:

• A House colour T-shirt
• Black shorts or black jogging bottoms
• School jumper
• Black jumper or hoodie can be brought in to wear outside as an extra layer on colder days
• Trainers that can be worn outside

Please ensure that all items are named as this makes it easier to return items if they are mislaid. There should be no large logos or obvious brands on PE clothing.

Forest School

At points during the year, your child will engage in Forest School. When your child is participating in Forest School, they will need:

• A warm jumper
• A waterproof coat
• Long trousers
• Wellies
• Warm socks

More information will be sent regarding the dates on which your child will take part in Forest School.

Reading

Reading is a key skill that all children in Year 1 need to develop. In KS1 we will be focusing on building up the children's high frequency word recognition, sound blending and segmenting of words and becoming more independent, fluent readers. 

Independent reading will take place throughout the week. Independent reading reinforces their phonics knowledge and adults will hear them read 1:1 regularly. This will be recorded in their reading record.  When reading with your child, please try to ask them questions about the title of the book, the pictures and what they have read to check their comprehension.
