Year 1
Our names are Miss Ormond and Mrs Keogh and we are the Year 1 teachers. We are very lucky to be supported by Ms. Harrison, who also works closely with groups of children.
This year, we have lots of exciting learning planned – you can find out what we will be doing by clicking on the ‘Long Term Plan’ button below.
PE: Y1 will be doing PE on a Thursday afternoon– please ensure that your child comes to school in their PE kit for the day.
At Holy Cross, we are incredibly passionate about fostering a love of reading in all children. We also know how difficult it can be to choose reading books for your child, which is why we have created ‘recommended reads’ for each year group. Click on the button below for more information.
Many thanks,
Miss Ormond and Mrs Keogh
HOMEWORK
In Y1, all children are expected to read for their RWI book for at least 10 minutes each day.
We would also encourage parents/carers to ask the children the comprehension questions which can be found at the back of each book.
Each Friday, your child’s reading book will be changed.
