About Class 1

 

Class 1

 

In Class 1 you will find our wonderful Reception and Year 1 children. We have the most beautiful, new, outdoor area which we are so excited to use and share with our children. Our indoor and outdoor environments are vibrant, fun and awe-inspiring. We plan activities that engage our children and help to develop lifelong skills and a real love of learning. Every day is different and exciting! Our topics cover a breadth of knowledge and skills, which help to equip our children for their learning journey through, The Howard school.

 

Our P.E. day is Wednesday. We kindly ask that the children come to school dressed in their P.E kit on this day.

 

 

Our Forest school day is a FRIDAY. Please send you child into school with their forest school kits on this day. The children will be taking part in forest school sessions on alternate weeks. More information will be shared with you on Dojo. 

 

Our spelling day for Year 1 will take place on Friday. Each week the children will be given a set of spellings linked to our Monster phonics lessons, to learn at home. Please look out for more information about Year 1 spellings on our class dojo page.

 

Reading for Pleasure 

 We believe that it is important to encourage everyone to develop a 'Life-long Love of Reading'.

Children will have opportunities throughout the week to 'read for pleasure'. The children will have the opportunities to bring in books from home or borrow a book from the library. Below are a list of Recommended Reads for Reception and Year 1. Why not challenge your child to read them all during school the year?
