Class 3 | West Boldon Primary School

Hello, welcome to Class 3.

We are a Year 1 class taught by Miss Reynolds and supported by Miss Turnbull. I am so glad to welcome you all to a new year and a new class. I know it may seem strange and things are a little different right now but we are going to have a brilliant time here in Class 3. I cannot wait for a great year together!

Start times/milk
For Year 1 pupils the school day commences at 8:45am and finishes at 3:00pm. Parents/carers are not allowed on site so we ask that you wait at the lower side gate (Burn) at drop off and collection times. There will be signs on either side of the date showing where to line up for both Miss Reynolds’ and Miss Smith’s Year 1 classes.

Milk

KS1 pupils are entitled to milk, either free or paid, however paid milk MUST be paid on Parent Pay. Please see the school office if you need help signing up to Parent Pay.

PE
PE this term will take place on Tuesday’s, Wednesday’s and Thursday’s. We are extremely fortunate to have multi-skills with Mr Gibson as well as to be able to receive Dance and Kickboxing sessions. Please make sure you have the correct P.E. kit in school and this must stay on your peg for the half term.

Reading

Here at West Boldon, we ask that you read with your child at least 3 times per week (and sign their pink reading diaries) as reading is a very important part of our learning. Children who have read to an adult three times in a week will be able to tick a square on our class reading challenge. Once we reach 100 we will be rewarded with a class prize! Let’s make sure we keep this up and win that prize!

We will also be changing and sending reading books home every Friday as well as our weekly spellings/phonics.

Summer Topics

Our topics for the Summer 2 half term are as follows:

ICT – Our local area

Science – What birds and plants will red Riding Hood see in our school grounds (local area)?

Geography – Comparing UK to a non-European country – What are the differences between Boldon and Zambia?

Art – How can we capture the beauty of the birds and plants that we see?

RE – What can we learn about Christianity by visiting a Church?

Music – Reflect, rewind and replay

PSHE – Living in the Wider world – money and finance

Class Dojo
This year we will be using Class Dojo school-wide as a means of maintaining parent communication and as our whole-school rewards system. I will be posting regular updates to our Class Story throughout the year as well as reminders for parents and pupils.
