We hope you are all looking forward to a fun and productive year where your children develop as happy and independent learners.
The children will start their day at 8.30am (when doors open until 8:45am) and end their day at 3:15pm (collection is from 3:15-3:30pm) so please ensure they are dropped off and collected at these times.
Useful Information:
Learning:
In Year One there will be more structured whole class sessions than in Reception but we will still be learning through play and supporting the children's needs in this way.
Snack Time:
Free fruit will still be given daily although you are welcome to send your child with their own healthy snack if you would prefer.
Reading:
We are passionate about reading at Treverbyn. The children learn the important skills needed to read when they are in school, but becoming a reader takes a lot of practise. Please support your child's development as a reader by listening to them read at least 4 times a week. Please write in their reading diaries when they have read at home. The children will need to bring their reading books and diaries into school daily so their school reading can be recorded.
- We collect reading records in on a Friday where they are checked.
- 4x reads (on separate nights) results in a well-done ticket and a special reading certificate.
Handwriting:
In Year 1, we will be really focusing on letter formation ensuring that children start and end their letters in the correct place. Please support your child with this at home.
P.E:
Children can come to school in their PE kit on their PE days which are Thursday and Friday for Year 1. Please ensure that this, along with their water bottle, packed lunch box, coat and school uniform are clearly labelled with their name.
Please also ensure that water bottles, packed lunch boxes, coats and school uniform are also clearly labelled.
Why does the weather change?
This term, Year One will be learning about different types of weather and how the weather changes. We will be learning about and naming seasons, including discussing the key features of seasons. Year One will be monitoring the weather daily, both in Cornwall, the UK and other countries. We will look for changes in the temperature and weather and keep track of this!
