Year 1
Welcome to Year 1
Teacher: Miss Mason
Teaching Assistant: Mrs Kerey
Myself and Mrs Kerey are very excited to be teaching your children this year. If you wish to ask any questions or need any further support please contact Miss Mason at – Year1@millbrook.herts.sch.uk
Just a polite note to provide your child with a water bottle, labelled clearly with their name and ensure that uniform is also clearly labelled.
Mid-Morning snack
We offer a selection of fruits daily for your child to have. However, children can bring in their own healthy snack to eat at break. This should either be fresh or dried fruit, a cereal bar, a yoghurt tube or similar finger food (no crisps or chocolate please).
P.E.
Our PE lessons are on Tuesday and Friday. The children need to wear their PE kits to school on these day and will not get changed out of it. It is expected that they wear a white top, black/navy trousers/shorts and black trainers or plimsols. If your child wears earrings they need to be able to remove them or cover them with tape. Long hair needs to be tied up.
Home learning
Send home: Friday
Due in: Wednesday
Each week will consist of
- Spellings linked to their learning in Phonics.
- Flashcards of the graphemes taught that week to practise
- An allocated eBook to read (written in their reading record)
Reading
Children are expected to read every night and their Reading Record should be signed. Your child will read to an adult in school daily through 1:1 sessions and Guided Reading at school.
Here's to a successful year! 2022-2023
Kind regards,
Miss Mason
