WELCOME TO SPARKLE CLASS (YEAR 1)

In Sparkle Class this year there are 30 children and three adults who are all enthusiastic and hard working.

My name is Miss LeVardi and I am the class teacher. Mrs Gartside and Mrs Horridge are our class teaching assistants. We aim for the children to achieve their greatest potential in everything they do.

Throughout the year there will be the opportunities for families to join us for assemblies and topic afternoons. We look forward to showing you how we grow together and progress throughout the year as we work hard in all of our learning.

ROUTINES IN CLASS

Snack Time

Morning break begins at 10:30am. If you wish to you can send your child in with a healthy snack.

In the afternoon, we have snack time just before home time. This is a piece of fruit of your child's choice or you can send your child in with another healthy snack.

Reading

We ask you to read with your child as much as possible. Once you have read with your child, please fill in their reading record to let us know. We will change reading books every Thursday so please ensure your child’s reading record and books are in their school bag. We will send home two reading books per week; we ask you to please read these books at least twice and focus on the comprehension questions that have been sent home previously as a book mark.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________

Please continue to practice your child's phonics at home using your sound board. If you are unsure of how to say a sound see one of us in school or use this interactive sound wall to help remind the children https://learn.readwithphonics.com/school/phonics-games/phonics-soundwall

We are going to star sending home a mix of real and alien words for your children to add sound buttons to and read at home in preparation for their phonics screening.
