Mission Statement

We promise to think of everyone and show kindness.

We will share fairly and we promise to keep our classroom tidy.

We will try to be brave like St Michael.

Welcome Year 1!

Welcome back to term 2! We hope you all enjoyed a restful half term break.

It was lovely to meet so many of you at parents evening at the end of last term and we thank you for attending.

We have a busy but exciting term ahead, with lots to look forward to as we prepare for Christmas and rehearse for our Nativity performance with Year 2!

You can find out more about what we are learning this term in our Curriculum Overview at the bottom of this page.

PE will continue on Wednesday afternoons and this term we will be doing ‘Dance’ in the hall.

Forest school will continue on Tuesday afternoons. As the weather is unpredictable, please could the children arrive in multiple thin layers of Forest School clothes and wear their school shoes and a coat. Please put a waterproof jacket, trousers or suit in a plastic bag, these will be put on after lunch. A pair of named wellies should continue to stay in school.

Please ensure your child’s reading books are in school every day so that we can hear them read.

St Michael’s homework will continue to be set on the class dojo system, every Friday. Full information regarding homework is outlined below.

If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to ask.

Thank you for your continued support.

Miss Howell, Mrs Blackman and Mrs Harwood.
