We have lots of very exciting learning opportunities planned throughout the year.

Here you will be able to read and find out about all the different things that we get up to in Year 1.

 

Reading

Please send reading bags into school every day so that we can ensure your child has an appropriate book to support their comprehension and fluency.

We encourage children to read every night to support their learning. Whenever your child reads at home, please record and sign this in their Reading Record.

 

Reading Superstars

Children should aim to read on at least 5 out of 7 nights each week.

Children who achieve this will:

• earn 3 Dojos

• receive a Reading Superstar stamp in their Reading Record

• work towards earning a Reading Superstar bookmark each half term

• be invited to our termly Reading Superstar Film for consistently achieving their weekly reading target

Reading Records are monitored regularly, so please ensure they are brought into school each day.

Your support with reading is greatly appreciated!
