A Big Welcome to Year 1 from Mrs Bratton!

I am absolutely delighted to be the year 1 teacher again this year and I am looking forward to the year ahead.
Below you will find some general information; please look out for any updates.

....................................................Staffing .................................................
Working alongside me in the classroom is Miss Hanson.
Mr Hanford will teach the children PE on a Monday and Wednesday afternoon.
On Monday afternoon Ms Kalawsky will be with the children for an hour teaching ICT and for the first part of a Wednesday afternoon the children will be taught PSHE by Mrs Halford.
Ms Kalawsky teaches a small group of children during the daily phonic lessons and formally assesses phonics and reading at intervals during the year.
....................................Clothing and Equipment ...........................................
Thank you so much for naming the children's jumpers and cardigans!
Just a reminder that, as the Autumn is upon us, the children will need a coat in school, as some lessons do take place outside of the classroom.
As the children may have mentioned to you already, Thursday afternoon will now be designated to outdoor learning therefore it would be most helpful if the children could bring wellies in for the afternoon's lesson. However please note this may not be the only time during the week that learning will take place outdoors so it would be most helpful if wellies could be left on the wellie rack just outside the classroom.

...................................................................The school day................................................................
At Hathern Primary School the children in year 1 now benefit from a continous provision approach to their learning.
This means that everything is taught in accordance with the national curriculum but alongside this, resources and areas within the learning environment also promote learning through play and exploration.
The school days in year 1 are structured in a way which enables the inclusion of many different elements; supporting the development of all the children both socially and academically.
