Welcome to the Fallow Page!      

Welcome to the start of your Key Stage 1 adventure! 

We have got so many fabulous learning opportunities this year and we are excited to help the children grow in confidence and independence.  We know our topics will inspire the historians, scientists and geographers of tomorrow and we look forward to watching the class flourish as learners.  We will be learning about toys in the past, building our own wheeled vehicles and painting in the style of Quentin Blake.  As well as sparking your enthusiasm and love of learning, we promise to support you all in developing friendships, confidence and resilience.

Becoming a fluent reader is a really important and we want to work alongside parents to ensure children have both fluency and a love of books.  Daily reading is the best way to ensure that your child progresses well.  It is expected that you read with your child at least 3 times a week and write a note in the reading diary. Reading books will be changed regularly, but as this will be different for different phonics groups, it is really important that your child has their reading book in school every day.  Children are encouraged to borrow a book from our ‘reading for pleasure box’ as often as they like.  We just ask that you look after these books and return them to school when you have finished with them.

Please feel free to speak to a member of the Year 1 team if you have any questions or concerns.  We are always happy to help.  You can contact us through the Contact Form below, or speak to us at the end of the day.

Best Wishes,

Kate Litten
