Welcome to Year One with Ms Wright
Welcome to Year One! Alongside me this year will be our lovely Teaching Assistant Miss Begum.
Our Year One Classroom has a caring and nurturing environment where the children can flourish, succeed and build up their independence as they make the transition from the Early Years Foundation Stage. The children will have opportunities to build on those fundamental skills through enquiry, exploration and use of their imagination.

In English, we will read and share lots of new texts. We will be reading our focus text ‘Lost and Found’ by Oliver Jeffers. We will write simple sentences whilst ensuring we use capital letters, finger spaces and full stops. In phonics we will be learning new sounds and how to use sound buttons to identify the sounds that we know.
In Maths we will begin the year by looking at numbers to 100. We will be ensuring that the children’s knowledge of these numbers is secure through the five principles of counting. We will spend time ensuring that the numbers are correctly formed and can be sequenced correctly with problem solving and reasoning elements.
In Phonics, we will continue to use Little Wandle, as well as having our guided reading sessions.
Reading
Your child will be read with three times a week. They will focus on decoding, prosody and comprehension. Your child's reading book is matched appropriately to their phonics level.
Please aim to read with your child three times a week. This will support fluency, comprehension and expression.
In Handwriting, we will continue to look at the correct formation of our letters and numbers. In these sessions, we will also be encouraging our hand muscles to work and get stronger by doing some fun finer motor activities.
Our PE days are Tuesday and Thursday and we will be outside and inside for this half term. Please send your child in with their PE kit on these days with appropriate clothing for the weather. We will be getting changed in school, to support the children's independence with dressing.
Please see our Autumn One Curriculum Map, this has all the information about what we will be learning.

Your child's well being and education is of the utmost importance to me. I believe that the relationship between parent and teacher is as important as the relationship between a teacher and a child.
I have always had an open door policy for communications with the parents of the children that I teach - If there is ever anything that you would like to discuss with me, please approach me at the end of the school day or email me on the address below.
