Welcome to Year 1!
I'm Mrs McGarrigle and I will be your Year 1 teacher.
Mrs Austin & I are so happy and excited to spend this year with you.
If you have any questions or concerns, please come and speak to me at the end of the day or call the school office to arrange an appointment.
Mrs McGarrigle :)
Reading
Reading is a crucial way in which you can help your child at home. Please read with your child every night, even if it is only for 10 minutes. Your child will bring home their new Phonics book, as well as, a library book.
Phonics Screening Check
Children will be taking their Phonics Screening Check in June 2025. More information to follow on this.
Key Messages
P.E Days: We will be doing P.E every Thursday and Friday.
Forest School: We will be doing Forest School every Wednesday.
Homework - Every FRIDAY homework will be set on DB Primary. Please can all homework be completed by the following WEDNESDAY. It is vital that children are completing their small Homework tasks that are set weekly. These are used as a consolidation of what we have learnt throughout the week.
Reading - Children will read their reading books to an adult each week. Children will also enjoy lots of reading for pleasure, during daily phonic sessions, weekly school library visits and other opportunities throughout the wider curriculum.
