Year 1
A Gruffalo Wonder Day at Skelton Grange - 24.09.2025
Our first day in Year 1
Year 1 - Wow! What a super day we have had together. You all came into school with happy faces, lots of enthusiasm and a brilliant attitude. You all listened so carefully and followed each of our class rules beautifully. It was lovely to observe you spending time with your friends and exploring your new classroom. You have all worked so hard today and settled in incredibly well. We are so proud of you all. What a wonderful start to the year.
Parents, we hope enjoy sharing these photographs with your children and finding out all about their routines and activities in Year 1. Thank you for sending them to school so prepared. They are a set of stars who are definitely ready for Year 1.
Our first day in Year 1
Our Wonderful Year 1 Classroom
Welcome to Year 1
A huge welcome back to a new school year. We hope you have had a wonderful summer holiday and we are really looking forward to getting to know your children and working in partnership with you. We know that we will have a year filled with fun, creativity and adventure. This year, each child will develop their independence and imagination through the exciting discovery of knowledge across the curriculum. We know that you are an outgoing, energetic class who are so eager to develop your knowledge further. We have already planned so many exciting opportunities for our first half-term, including a school trip and a special visitor! We love bringing learning alive through as many first hand experiences as possible in Year 1.
A few things to note:
- PE will be on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Please come in PE kits on these days. Please make sure your uniforms and PE kits are labelled, so you don’t lose them.
- Reading books will be changed each Thursday.
- Please send your child's reading book in to school every day as we have volunteers who listen to the children read.
- Our Meet the Teacher meeting will be on Wednesday, 3rd September at 3:15pm.
- Check our half-termly newsletters (with key dates) in the Year 1 class page.
To help your child get off to the best start in Year 1, please make sure you:
- Listen to your child read their school reading book every night. Please record this in your child’s diary.
- Share lots of stories together.
- Arrive at school on time, ready for the school day.
