Welcome to our Year 1 page. My name is Miss Burrows and I am the class teacher. I am supported by Learning Support Assistants, Mrs Bojin and Miss Padina.

In Year One, the children are read to every day. They enjoy listening to and talking about a variety of stories, poems, rhymes and non-fiction. They are learning phonics every day so that they will be able to read on their own too. It is very important that you read to your child regularly at home and talk to them about stories they know. Listening to stories is crucial to your child’s language and vocabulary development. It will help them to develop a lifelong love of books.

PE is on Mondays and Wednesdays.  We provide a PE kit for every child but s/he will need pumps or trainers.

Please ensure your child arrives at school at 8.45am every day in full school uniform and black shoes. Long hair must be tied back and plaited please.

If you have any questions about Y1, please make an appointment at the office to see Miss Burrows.

Year 1 Long Term Plan

Phonics Plan

Parents learning about Phonics

Reception and Year 1 parents have been learning about phonics and how they can support their children at home to develop early reading skills. Mrs Flood demonstrated some of the resources and explained how phonics is taught at St. Hugh’s using Read Write Inc. (RWI). Mrs Baddeley also taught a small part of a phonics lesson to the parents so they could see how much fun the children have while learning to read!
