PE days: Tuesday, Thursday and Friday

Phonics and Reading: In Year 1, we strive to support children in becoming happy, enthusiastic readers who have a good understanding of what they have read. We teach phonics daily, using the Monster Phonics Scheme, and we also have reading sessions focusing on phonics application, vocabulary, comprehension and prosody. 

Each week, the children will read both individually and as part of a group to practise these key skills. At the end of the week, the book will be sent home for further practice. We ask that you look after these books and return them the following week.
