NEW!!! Can you try this at home?

Welcome to Class 1!

with Mrs Yorke and Mrs Marrow

Mrs Bailey visited class one to talk to us about her early life in India and her wedding in India. In geography we have been studying India and Bollywood linked to our curriculum vehicle ‘Celebrities’. Mrs Bailey wore her wedding sari and spoke about visiting the Taj Mahal and Mumbai. She spoke about her wedding and showed us her wedding photographs. We asked her questions such as What was it like to live in India? Did she live in a rich or poor house? Was it hot living in India? Mrs Bailey showed us how to dance Bollywood style. We all had a great afternoon!!!!

We have received some feedback from parents about Purple Mash, where it appears that some tasks are not able to be 'Saved' and are still remaining as 'To Do'. Please do not worry about this; we are able to see that the children have completed the task and we can see their scores. Your child only needs to attempt each task once.

Kind regards,

Mr Allen.

Year 1 and Year 2 Curriculum and Expectations

Below you will find the expectations for Year 1 and Year 2 in Reading, Writing and Mathematics. This year the year 2 will be following the government's End of Key Stage 1 interim curriculum. The government guidance can be downloaded at the bottom of the page. This document provides detail of the specific expectations for the end of year 2 statutory tests and expectations.

The document for year 1 which can be downloaded below identifies Year 1 expectations. In this document we have also produced ‘deepening’ targets for parents to show you the targets that the children will be working towards if they have met all of the ‘expected’ targets to master their learning skills.

As a school we shall report your child’s progress against these end of year expectations at parent’s evening during the year.

The following terms will be used:

·         Your child is not on track to meet the end of year national expectations.

·         Your child is on track to meet the end of year national expectations .

·         Your child is on track to deepen the end of year national expectations.

Any extra support you can provide in helping your child or children to achieve these will benefit them greatly.
