Year 1 – Trip Donation Expenses Letter

We have planned a variety of engaging activities, lessons and enrichment opportunities to help your child develop academically, socially, and emotionally. Throughout the year, we will be continuing to build upon your child’s strong foundation. We will also encourage attainment and progress through oracy, P4C,  creativity and deeper thinking, all whilst being reflective of our S.M.I.T.H values.

Our Autumn Term Topic Web 

We follow the Monster Phonics scheme in EYFS and KS1. You can find out more about it on their website and you can even download an app to help your children practise their phonics at home. (Please note this app is paid for and not a necessary purchase but is available if you would like to use it – search monster phonics via your app store). Please click the link below to view our Phonics page which has lots of useful information and websites to support your child with phonics at home. https://stmichaelinthehamletschool.com/english/

Keep in touch with what’s going on in Year 1 with Class Dojo. We will send you regular updates and important announcements this way. Our weekly spellings will also be sent out via Dojo, so it really is the best place to connect with us! 

Keep up to date on all of the amazing things that happen in Year 1 via our school’s X page!
