Class 1
Welcome to Class One!
Our class scripture quote:
‘God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.’
Genesis 1:31
In our class we have Reception and Year 1 children. Our teacher is Mrs Ellis, Miss Collins (1 day- Forest School), and Teaching Assistants, Miss Harrison, Miss Hughes and Mrs Moss (HLTA).
Within our Early Years classroom we strive to develop inquisitive learners who are not afraid to try new things, persevere with a challenge and feel proud of all their accomplishments.
Important information
Reading books
It is recommended that you read with your child for 10 minutes, 5 times per week. Reading books are changed every Monday. If your child has not read at home, their book will not be changed. If your child has a picture book to look at with you, please talk about the pictures with your child and ask them some questions about what is happening in the pictures. Please ensure all books kept in your child’s blue book bag to avoid reading books becoming lost.
Wizard words
