Welcome to Class 1B

In 1B, we are taught by Mrs Banyard and supported by Mrs O’ Malley. Mrs Hemminway also delivers our Religious education on a Monday afternoon. We start each day by strengthening our reading skills with guided reading and phonics. Reading is a fundamental skill that we nurture and develop throughout Year 1.

Each week, children take home the book that they have read at school to practise their fluency with an adult. Children also have access to a wider reading diet in the form of our class Lending Library, where children can choose a book to take home to read for pleasure. To support this, your child will need to have their book bag and reading log in school each day.

In 1B, we are a respectful class family where we strive to be independent learners. We use our ‘can do’ attitudes to help each other and build up our resilience. We have developed exciting and innovative ways to support the children and we have a curriculum that is diverse, creative and engaging.

Our P.E. day is on a Friday – for this, all children will need a kit suitable for indoor and outdoor sessions in school and earrings removed. However, other events do arise so please ensure full kits are in school Monday to Friday.

We like to use Class Dojo to keep families informed about any important information and share all the amazing things which happen in 1B. Families are also encouraged to post pictures into the children’s portfolios so that we can share and celebrate events and learning that happen at home.
