Year 1

Welcome back!

Welcome to Year 1. It is lovely to welcome you all to KS1 and to share with you the many exciting activities we will be focusing on for this term to support your child’s learning.  Year 1 is a very important year, as we have the KS1 Phonics Screening test in the Summer Term. We will be working hard to make sure that your child is ready for this, but we cannot do this without your help. Thank you in advance for all your support – it is always greatly appreciated.
