Welcome to Class One
Year 1 Staff
Miss Ridgway - Class Teacher
Miss Perkins- Teaching Assistant
Mrs Angold - HLTA
Here is our Year 1 timetable.
General Information
- PE- every Wednesdays (Bolton Council PE coach) and Thursdays.
- Reading books- are changed on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. (Please see front of you child's reading log for their change day). After reading please place a note in your child's reading log, this can be a general note to say if they enjoyed their book or if they have struggled with any words.
- It would be great if you could read with your child at home at least three times a week.
- Spellings- are sent home every Friday and will be tested the following Friday.
- Homework- sent home every Friday and due in every Wednesday, or before.
Reminders:
To make sure there are no missing clothes or bag please try and label your children's clothings. (If i see that there is an item of clothing left behind I will keep it in safe in the classroom ready to hand over.)
Can we make sure there is water in bottles and not juice.
When bringing in snacks these should be fresh fruit as we are a healthy school.
Parents welcome!

Phonics screening test
Below I have attached a few example of previous Phonics screening tests. You will see that there are some real and some alien words. I have also attached a copy of phase 3 and phase 5 flashcards.
