Holy Cross Catholic Primary School
'Living, Loving, Learning Together'
Year 1
I am Miss McKerr, the Year 1 class teacher, the children are also supported in their learning by Miss Crute and Miss Eddy. The children are all settling into Year One well and working hard! You can also head over to our 'Curriculum' page to see more about what we are learning this year!
During Autumn 2 , PE will be taught on Tuesday afternoons. Please ensure comes to school in a full PE kit. PE kits can be purchased from the office. It is vital for health and safety reasons that the children have the correct PE kit and pumps.
Reading is a very important aspect of learning, so we actively encourage children to read every night. It is important that your child has their book bag every day so they are able to take home their reading record and reading book. Children should read their reading books several times in order to help develop their fluency. Children will also be given a library book, this is to enjoy together. Book bags can be purchased at the main office. A positive work ethos makes all the difference to your child's learning, so your support from home is welcomed and encouraged.
Your child will be sent home with their log ins for Mathletics, Purple Mash and Numbots, these are fun and interactive ways for the children to continually practise their learning.
