Hackwood Primary AcademyYear 1 - Woodpeckers 2024 - 2025
Miss Hussain
Welcome to the Woodpecker class!
We are so proud of the way all of the children have settled into their new class with a fantastic attitude and readiness to learn. It is lovely to see each child grow in confidence and independence each day.
Year One begins a journey into Key Stage One, so it's a very important year! We do lots of hands on learning through our INSPIRE curriculum. We look forward to sharing our exciting news with you about all the fantastic things that happen in our class. The children have already taken part in a local area walk and have various enrichment activities to look forward to over the coming months.
Here are a few things you might like to know about our year group:
PE Days:
Tuesday and Thursday.
Please ensure your child comes to school in the correct PE kit. Long hair should be tied up and any jewellery should be removed before coming to school.
Homework:
Spellings will be sent out every Tuesday and the spelling test will be held the following Monday. Please practise the spellings with your child, encouraging them to use the words in sentences too.
Reading:
Please read with your child regularly. Children in Year One will complete a Phonics Screening in June. It is essential that they read regularly to develop their ability to decode words fluently so they are well prepared for this screening and meet age-related expectations at the end of the year.
