Welcome to Green Class

Key Information

Green Class is a Year 1 class of 30 pupils. Mrs Woodhead teaches Monday to Thursday and Mrs Chapman teaches on a Friday. Green Class also have the support of Mrs Bell all week and Mrs Holmes for 1 afternoon a week. 

PE

Green Class PE sessions will take place on a Tuesday afternoon and Friday morning. (Children will need to bring their PE kits on a Monday and take them home on a Friday). All children will be expected to get themselves changed into their PE kits as independently as is possible. Please encourage this independence at home also.

Library/ Reading

Our class library session will take place on Wednesday afternoons where the children will swap their library books each week. Children will need to return a book each week before they are issued with another. We encourage all of the children to bring their reading books and reading records into school every day. The children's Read Write Inc reading books will also be changed on a Tuesday weekly as long as it has been read at home and this has been recorded in their reading diary. Children will also receive a golden ticket for reading three times a week.

Homework

Homework will be set on tapestry every Friday at the end of the school day . Children are expected to hand their homework books in on Wednesdays (if they have chosen to record their homework in their books). We encourage homework to be as practical as possible. We are also aware of busy family schedules and do not expect every task to be completed from our homework sheet. These are just suggested activities to help with your child's learning.

Tapestry

We encourage all families to regularly check our online tapestry platform. We will often post messages and learning on tapestry. In Year One our tapestry posts are mainly group focused on our practical learning sessions and will not be as frequent as they were in EYFS. Although you can communicate with staff through Tapestry it is important that messages regarding children's progress, behaviour, pick up arrangements, absences or other urgent matters are communicated directly with office staff/ or the class teacher through a face to face conversation, telephone, email or through the Arbor app. Tapestry is only monitored during school hours during the week, please be mindful of this.
