Y1 – Ecclesall Primary School

Y1 Welcome

We would like to welcome you all to Year 1!

Please read the information below as it will provide you with important details linked to your child’s learning.

Google Classroom
We will use Google Classroom to communicate important information in future weeks so please keep an eye out. Please can all Parent/Carers log their child into Google Classroom. Mr Willatt has prepared a sheet with passwords to go home and these were handed out last week.

WOW moments
In year one, we will continue to use WOW moments that the children are familiar with from EYFS. If your child has something to show and tell, please take a sheet from their classroom and fill in with details about your child’s achievement/masterpiece. Please return these completed sheets to their class teacher.

Reading at home
Reading books will go home every day. We would appreciate it if you could fill in and sign their reading record each time they are listened to/read independently. We also would like reading books to come into school every day for the times that they are heard by an adult in school.

Bug Club
Bug club is available for all children to use and in order to log in, please use the passwords sheet to find your child’s login details. The aim of bug club is to give children access to a wide variety of books online and you can choose these books from their recommended book band.

PE
Indoor PE is on a Tuesday and Outdoor PE is on a Thursday. Children will be expected to arrive at school in correct PE kit for the day: white t-shirt, blue or black shorts (no brands), trainers with long hair tied back and no jewellery. Thank you for your support with this.

Curriculum Jigsaws and Knowledge Organisers
For more information about other areas of the curriculum as well as key dates, please see the knowledge organisers and curriculum jigsaws for each half term on the main website.

Healthy snacks
In Y1, the children are offered a healthy snack during breaktimes. Despite this, you may wish to provide your child with a healthy snack (no nuts) of your own to eat during morning break time.
If you have any questions or concerns throughout the year, please don’t hesitate to contact us via enquiries@ecclesall.sheffield.sch.uk or catch us in person when you are collecting or dropping off your child. We look forward to working with you and your child this year.

Best wishes,

Mr Fretter (Dolphins’ class teacher)
Mr Webber (Blue Whales’ class teacher)
Mrs Hanif and Mrs McManus (Seals’ class teachers)
