Welcome to Year One

In year One, we are taught by Mrs Bell and Mrs Murphy.  We are supported by Mrs Tunstall, Miss Youdale and Miss McKeating. Miss Foy, Mrs Patrick and Miss Finnlinson, come and join us every afternoon with the Year One Willows children.  

We are an amazing cohort, who strive to work hard and we love to learn new things.  

Below, you will find information about what we are learning, the importance of reading at home, and other general information. 

Our Curriculum 2025-2026

Homework

• Homework is given out on a Wednesday and should be returned the following Monday; it should be completed in your homework book.
• Homework should be completed by the child and should be presented neatly.
• Homework will consist of a weekly spelling task , a reading or a phonics task and a maths task. 
• Homework must be completed so that children in Year One are not at a disadvantage. 

Reading and Phonics 

Reading every night at home is vital for the learning in Year One. Children who read 4 times a week at home, achieve fab 4 and will receive a treat.  Reading books and books bags need to be brought into school EVERY day.

Please see our Reading page, which explains in more detail our phonics and reading sessions.
