Welcome to the Hedgehogs class page!

Here you will find everything you need to know about Year 1.

You can find information about what we are learning this year and have a look at some previous learning over the past few years. 

 I am Miss Trimmer, the class teacher, and I will be working alongside Mrs Kearton, our wonderful teaching assistant. We are looking forward to a fantastic term filled with exciting learning opportunities and experiences. 

Homework 

Homework will be set on teams every Friday and is due the following Wednesday. Please ensure that your child completes their homework on time. The children can either bring a paper copy into school, or it can be uploaded on teams. If you cannot access teams or do not have access to a printer,  please inform us and we can provide a paper copy.

Reading 

It is expected that all children read every day for a minimum of 10 minutes. This reading should be recorded in their reading record, and the adult who reads with them should sign it. Daily reading is vital to help your child develop their phonics knowledge, reading speed, and fluency. Please support us by making this a regular part of your routine. 

PE and Forest School 

• PE lessons will take place on Friday. Children should come to school wearing the correct PE uniform on this day. 

• Forest School is on Wednesday. Children should come to school in their regular uniform and bring their Forest School clothing with them. This should be placed in the black box outside the classroom when they arrive. 

Labelling Clothes 

To prevent any misplaced items, we kindly ask that all school jumpers and any other personal belongings are labelled with your child’s name. 

No Nuts

As we are a nut free school, please ensure all food/products provided contain no traces of nuts. This is very important as we do have children in year 1 with severe nut allergies.

If you need to, please contact Miss Trimmer at: trimmer@inspiream.org.uk
