Welcome to Class Germany!
Class Information
This year your class teacher is Mr Rainey and you will be supported by our wonderful teaching assistant Mrs Balls, Miss Bibby and Mrs Cunningham. Please speak to any of us and keep us updated with any news about your child that might affect their ability to learn. We’re a friendly bunch, so please come and say hello! Don’t forget to keep up to date with our class on Class Dojo and Seesaw.
Attendance
Attendance is so important in Class Germany as we love to win fantastic prizes for our excellent attendance. Please ensure you are in school to access our fabulous learning. This will ensure you do not miss any of our exciting lessons or activities.
Water bottles
Please remember to bring in your school water bottle every day. Water is so important to keep our brains working and soaking up all that new knowledge! Water bottles will be sent home every night to be washed and refilled ready for the next day.
Topics in Year One
In Year One we learn so much! We have three main topics over the year which we cover in our History, Geography, Art and DT lessons. In Geography we will be learning about the local area, the weather, living in a different country, the natural world and living by the coast. In History, we will be learning about how history is made, how toys have changed and how explorers have changed the world.
PE
Germany have PE every Thursday.
Please make sure that your child comes to school in their PE kit.
Homework
Germany will receive their homework every Friday. It will consist of Phonics homework which follow sounds we have been learning in class. Children should also be visiting Numbots and Times table Rock Stars as part of their homework. The more tasks you complete the more Dojos you will be awarded with.
We love to read in Year 1 and are so happy when children tell us about their favourite books. To improve your child’s reading it is so important to read with them every day, even 5 minutes can make all the difference. Really focus on asking questions about their book as this will help them with their reading comprehension. Children should bring their book bags everyday to school so reading records can be checked. Books will be changed every Friday.
