Class Governor:  

Giving children access to all varieties of literature is extremely important for their success. Reading is a key life skill which is crucial to developing language skills and access to the wider curriculum. It provides children with the chance to respond and develop personal opinions encouraging deeper thoughts and their imagination.  Our aim is to develop a love and passion for reading both at home and school.  We have specially selected high quality reading books for each year group.  Some of these books can be found in the classroom and some are available for loan at Lees library. Encourage your child to read as many of these books as possible throughout the year.

Please select the document below to see the books we recommend.

YEAR 1 RECOMMENDED READING LIST

PE. DAY Friday - This half term we will be focusing on athletics and gymnastics. Please make sure that your child has the correct PE kit on and has both joggers and shorts for indoor/outdoor PE.

Library Day Thursday - Each week we will be going to Lees library on a Thursday and the children will have the opportunity to choose a new book during each visit as well as listening to a story read by Miss Bamber. Please ensure your child has their library book in their book bag every Thursday so they can return it and pick a new book.  

Outdoor Learning - Please make sure your child brings a coat to school everyday. Outdoor learning is a vital part of your child's learning and will happen on a daily basis. We kindly ask for you to provide us with a pair of wellies for your child which can be kept in school so the children can go and learn outdoors in all weathers! The wellies need to be labelled with the child’s name or initials please.

Please let a member of staff know in advance of any appointments so that they can be put in the register.
