Welcome to Year 1
The Year 1 class team for 2024/25 includes Miss Fitzgerald, the class teacher; Mrs Hartrick and Mrs Cousins, teaching assistants; and Miss Moten, student teacher.
Here you will find links to our year ahead and useful websites linked to our learning.
Year 1 is always a very busy year where children grow in confidence with their learning. I would ask that you support your child in their learning by encouraging them to write short sentences using a capital letter and a full stop and rehearse their phonics to aid their writing and reading. In maths, it would be helpful for you to practise number bonds to ten and simple addition and subtraction.
I look forward to working with your child over this forthcoming year.
Our four school rules are: be ready, be respectful, be safe and be the best you can be.
We aim to ensure that excellent behaviour is a minimum expectation for all. Being ready to learn at all times and allowing others to be ready as well.
With the growing awareness of love for all, we will help children towards true respect for the beliefs and cultures of others. We will also adopt a respect for the environment. We aim to ensure that children feel safe at all times.
We will ensure that each child will have experiences of forgiving and being forgiven. We will encourage children to accept responsibility for their actions and to apologise when necessary.
To be ready to learn in school please support the children with:
P.E. – Our P.E. days are Wednesday and Thursday. All children are expected to take part in a full P.E. kit and trainers.
Reading at Home - Children should read for 15 minutes each night - this could be their school rhino readers book, a library book or a book of their own choice from home.
Spelling Test – Please make sure that your child practises their spellings at home and brings their spelling book in every Friday for the test.
At Saint Augustine’s Primary School, our school rules are simple yet powerful: Be Ready, Be Respectful, Be Safe, and Be the Best You Can Be.
These school rules guide us in everything we do, helping us create a positive, caring, and inspiring learning environment.
Being ready means coming prepared to learn and try our best every day.
Being respectful reminds us to treat others with kindness and value everyone's contributions.
Being safe ensures that we look after ourselves and others, both inside and outside the classroom.
And striving to be the best we can be encourages us to aim high, work hard, and take pride in our achievements.
Together, these rules help us to grow into confident, compassionate, and capable individuals.
