Miss Wood

Welcome to the Year 1 Class Page (2025–2026)

School begins at 8:45am and finishes at 3:15pm. Children should be dropped off and collected from the Infant Playground, which can be accessed via the gate on the right-hand side of the Village Hall.

Please find the Start of Year Pack and yearly overview for useful information.

I will use the Year 1 class webpage to keep families informed about what is happening in class. Please take the time to check this page regularly for weekly updates (see News Items below), including information about our learning, notices, and important dates for the coming week.

Getting in Touch

There are several ways families can contact me or find information:

Face-to-face: Please feel free to pop in before or after school
Notes: You may send a written note, but please avoid putting important messages in your child’s planner, as these are checked weekly
Telephone: Call us on 01270 918940 (best before/after school or during lunchtime)
Website: Visit the Year 1 class page (updated every weekend)
Email: Contact me at [email protected] (checked regularly throughout the week)
Newsletter: View the school newsletter online via the homepage (uploaded every Friday)

On this page, you will find lots of useful information to support you and your child. Below is a summary of our learning for the term ahead, along with homework information. At the end of each week, please check the News Items section for details about the week ahead—scroll to the bottom of the page to find it.

I look forward to working with you all this year.

Kind regards,
Miss Wood

Please remember to tell me if your child will not be collected by the usual adult at the end of the day. Thank you.

PE will take place on Tuesday afternoon, and children should come to school wearing their school PE kit on this day.

Reading Challenge
Children who read for 14 consecutive nights will earn a place on the Reading Challenge Wall of Fame and be rewarded with 10 house points.

Children should continue to come to school in their PE kits on Tuesday. Trainers, joggers, and warm hoodies/school jumpers are advised.

As always, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Homework in Year 1:

Children are encouraged to read at home every night where possible. Please record this in their reading diary so it can be counted towards their 14-day Reading Challenge.

Each child will receive two colour-banded reading books and one phonics book linked to the sounds and phase currently being taught in school. Please ensure these books are brought into school every Thursday. They will be changed and returned home on Friday.

Finally, please remember to check the News page on our website. It is updated weekly with current topics, children’s thoughts, and other important information.

Thank you for your continued support.
