Hello everyone and a big welcome to Year 1. Mrs Mottershead will be your teacher and the teaching assistants are Miss Fox, Mrs Richardson (mornings) and Mrs Barber (afternoons). Miss Bewers will teach on Thursday afternoons when Mrs Mottershead has her planning time.

Our topic this half term is Magic Garden! It is a science topic where we will be learning all about plants and trees. 

Have a look at the topic documents for some more information about the work we will be completing.

General reminders

PE

PE in Year 1 is on Wednesday and Friday. To avoid bringing lots of things to and from school, we ask that on these days children come to school dressed in their full Hollinhey PE kit. 

Reading

Reading books will be changed twice a week, on a Tuesday and a Friday. Please sign your child's reading record when you listen to them read and we will do the same in school. 

Homework

Weekly homework is set on a Wednesday. There will maths and phonics tasks on EdShed as well as a sheet to complete in your folder. There is also half termly topic homework (see below or teams). This is a more creative homework where you choose your favourite activity from the options. You can submit photos of this on teams or via email to the Year 1 email address.
