Welcome to Year 1b

 Welcome to Year 1B and the beginning of our Key Stage 1 journey! Here you will find regular updates throughout the year about what we are learning in our class.  Below you will also find any important dates, news and additional information.

Teaching Team: Miss Hill, Miss Wakefield, Mrs. Croly
Phase Leader: Mrs. Metcalfe
SENDCO: Mrs. Gaskell

Headteacher: Mrs. Shorrock / Deputy Headteacher: Mr. Adams

We are a class full of character and bubbly personalities. We are kind, ambitious, resilient, respectful and very proud to be Tyldesley Primary school children. 

In Year 1, we have phonics lessons daily and will be using Little Wandle to support this learning. We will also be participating in reading session three times a week to help develop fluency and comprehension. Please note that we will have the phonics screening check towards the end of our time in Year 1.  

In our Love of Reading time, we have been coming together as a class to enjoy a book selected from the '100 Books of Tyldesley'.  These books have all been purposefully chosen to provide a broad range of texts to suit the children's needs and experiences. 

We love learning practically and exploring things using a hands on approach. We love to learn and we are very excited to see where our learning journey takes us!

Key Dates / Reminders

P.E: Mondays (outdoor) and Thursdays (indoor)
Reading: We ask that children are heard read at home at least 3 times per week and their reading planner is signed by an adult.  When a child reads three times a week and their planner has been signed they get to move up within the reading championship!  We ask that reading planners and books are brought in to be changed on Thursdays ready for checking and for books to be swapped.

Class Rewards

Dojo Points: ClassDojo points are awarded to pupils who display our core values of 'pride, respect, resilience, kindness and ambition'.
Rewards Menu: Once a child has achieved 100 Dojo points they are free to exchange these for a treat of our 'rewards menu', on display in every classroom!

Star of the Week: One child each week is selected for a special award for demonstrating one of our school values, issued in our Friday celebration assembly.
