Welcome to KS1

Classes

In KS1, we have 3  classes:

Tiger Class  (Year 1)

Civet Class (Year 1/2)

Genet Class (Year 2)

Homework

Children will bring spelling lists home each Monday.  We have supplied a selection of spelling activities that children can use to help them learn, on Class Dojo.  An optional weekly activity will also be set on Class Dojo.

We encourage children to read as much as possible at home.  Little and often is best.  We also encourage children to re-read books once finished to aid in developing fluency.  You can support your child by discussing what they have read, making predictions and using inference.

Children have access to the Collins eBook Library

Start/End of the day

Doors open at 8:50.  Children can come straight in to class to get on with morning activities.  Please encourage your child to be independent once they have got to grips with the routine – the corridor gets very busy!  The school day finishes at 3:25 for KS1.  Children can be collected from the playground doors.

Money

The Tuck Shop runs at break times on Mon, Wed and Thurs.  No more than 30p a day will be needed.  Money will be collected in by teachers in the morning and kept safe until needed.

PE

We advise children to leave their PE kit in their locker for the week and take it home when it is ready for washing.  Children will need warmer clothes for outdoor PE in the colder weather.
