Living our school values: 

We are inquisitive and creative

Learning

Reading 

Please note that Key Stage 1 (Years 1 and 2) use a different reading scheme to the scheme used in Foundation Stage (FS).  The scheme used in FS is phonetically decodable.  The scheme in Y1 and Y2 is designed to develop a wider range of reading strategies.  

Seesaw 

There is no expectation for parents and guardians to upload observations, photos or videos on Seesaw.  If your child has a special event that you would like to share with their class teacher, please share via email or in person if you see your child's class teacher at drop off and pick up.  

Term 1A Curriculum

Our theme for learning this term is -Who am I? 

Please visit the Year 1 Curriculum page to find out more about this exciting unit of learning.

Well - Being

International Day of Peace - 21/09/22

On Wednesday the 21st of September we will celebrate the international day of peace. To mark this day everyone is encouraged (optional) to wear something purple. 

The purple theme links to Mrs McCormack's assembly based on the book "Purple People" and the theme of kindness.

Birthday celebrations

If you would like to send in some birthday treats for your child to share with their class, please arrange a day with your child's class teacher. We will only be able to manage individual items like brownies, doughnuts or cupcakes. Please remember we are a nut-free Primary School.  

We cannot give out party bags or gifts - please keep these for any sort of celebration that you do out of school.  

The following students are celebrating this week:

1W Farhan Ahmed [Farhan] 16-September
1S Abdul 17-September
1W Naminta [Aoey] 18-September
1J Pinyada [Ing] 18-September
1N Alina 19-September

Have a wonderful day!

General Information 

Snacks - Nut Free School

We provided tasty and nutritious snacks each day for the students in class. As some of our children have allergies, please ensure any food sent to school does not contain any sort of nut.

Lunchtimes 

Our students have been enjoying their healthy and varied lunches in our newly refurbished canteen. If you ever do wish to eat with your children, we encourage you to do this on special occasions.  

When in the canteen and around school please be mindful of our safeguarding policies and responsibilities and do not take photographs or videos of students other than your own children.

Toys

Students should not be bringing any toys or personal items to school. This includes card games such as Pokemon. 

Personal belongings such as these can cause upset should they become lost and therefore should be left at home.


Arriving late to school

We recognise that often there is quite challenging traffic on the soi outside of school.

If your child arrives at school late, it is important that they are accompanied to the correct classroom. 

Please do not leave your child to make their way independently as their classroom may be empty due to specialist lessons. If this is the case, please ensure that your child is escorted to their specialist or alternatively seek help from a member of the Year 1 team. 

Your child’s safety and well-being is our top priority.
