Welcome to Yellow Class

Key Information

Yellow Class is a mixed reception and year 1 class of 28 pupils. The full-time teacher in Yellow Class is Mrs Gregory . Yellow Class also has an early years practitioner (Miss Wells) who teaches the class on Monday afternoons for their 'Jigsaw' lessons. Mrs Boothby also works in Yellow Class on a Monday afternoon and Friday afternoons as an additional teaching assistant.

PE

Yellow Class PE sessions will take place on a Monday morning and Wednesday afternoon (Children will need to bring their PE kits on a Monday and keep them in school until Friday). All children will be expected to get themselves changed into their PE kits as independently as possible (it may take our Reception children a bit longer!). Please encourage this independence at home also.

Library/ Reading

Our class library session will take place on Wednesday mornings where the children will swap their library books each week. We encourage all of the Year One 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 Wednesday weekly as long as they have read three times. The Year One children will also receive a golden ticket for reading three times a week. Reception children will bring home their own reading books at the end of Autumn Term as they progress through our Read, Write, Inc phonics scheme.

Homework

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 (often there are more posts at the beginning of the week). We will post individual photos of our EYFS children so that their parents can follow their play-based learning in Yellow Class. Messages can also be posted to staff member on tapestry. However, any urgent matters need to be discussed directly with office staff/ or the class teacher rather than messages on Tapestry. Tapestry is only monitored during school hours during the week, please be mindful of this.
