Year 1
Welcome to Year 1 2025 - 2026!
The children’s time Year One is special at Our Lady of the Assumption. It is their first year beginning their learning journey on The National Curriculum; celebrating exploration and discovery. All children learn foundational skills in reading, writing, and mathematics while exploring exciting topics like humans including animals, seasons, and world cultures, which spark their curiosity and expand their understanding. This year all children begin to develop their independence, taking on responsibilities and making choices that encourage self-confidence. As they navigate this enriching curriculum, they not only acquire knowledge but also cultivate a sense of wonder and a lifelong love of learning.
Below is some information:
- Our school day starts at 8:45 and finishes at 3:15.
- Reading books go out on Monday’s are changed weekly. All reading books will be from our All Aboard Phonics scheme. Each week, the children’s reading books will contain that week’s taught sounds as well as tricky words to allow practice and application.
- Homework is given out weekly, on Fridays and is expected to be returned to school by the following Friday.
- The children have PE on Wednesday's and Fridays.
- We kindly ask for a weekly 50p snack donation to provide additional healthy snacks.
- All children are expected to wear full school uniform (as listed in school policy) and bring a water bottle into school each day.
Updates on the children’s learning and photographs will be posted below.
For any further information please see any of the Year Ome staff. We are looking forward to this exciting year and watching the children grow.
Thank you for your continued cooperation and support.
