Covid 19 Daily update

If you are a keyworker and have been given permission for your child to attend school , please ensure there is no other option before sending your child to school.

Gavin Williamson (Secretary of State for Education) has sent out the following message.
“You should only send your child to school if you have to, because your work is critical to our COVID-19 response. If you are able to keep your child at home you should.”

Schools are closed to stop the spread of the virus. Please remember this, children already off school due to the closure should be social distancing and not mixing outside school.

Thank you to all those keyworkers who have sorted additional childcare or only taken up the days they really need to.
If you are a keyworker and have been told that you can bring your child to school but have now been able to sort childcare on all or some of the days offered, please let us know as soon as possible.

The school has the right to and may ask that your employer confirms in writing that, based on their business continuity arrangements, your specific role is necessary for the continuation of this essential public service.

Year 1 2019 - 2020

Miss Cork

Welcome to Year 1!

"And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are hidden in the most unlikely places." - Roald Dahl

Miss Cork is the Year 1 teacher. The wonderful Miss Porter is the teaching assistant working alongside Miss Cork.

Our aim is to ensure that the children experience a smooth transition from the Foundation Stage to Key Stage One. The Year 1 curriculum builds upon and extends the experiences that children have had in Reception. Learning through play will continue to be an important part of the school day, and the children will gradually be eased into more formal learning as the year goes on so that they remain motivated, enthused and eager learners.

Our whole school spring term topic is based on the book 'Timeline' which tells a visual history of our world. Year One will be stepping back into the middle ages and exploring life at Beeston Castle. You can download our topic web below which outlines what we will be learning accross all subjects.

PE is on Wednesday and Thursday. Please can ALL items of kit be clearly labelled. We also ask that PE kits are in school throughout the week as we aspire to be as active as we can and some weeks these days may differ.

Please continue to bring boxes, tubes, bottles, yoghurt pots etc into school for junk modelling. We desperately need them this term!

Thank you,

Miss Cork
