Welcome to Year 1
Our Teachers

- Pearl Class (Year 1/2) = Mrs Bell and Miss Brown
Our Year 1 teachers are supported in class by Miss Bowskill and Mrs Hussain.
Online Learning
All children have a login to Purple Mash. Homework will often be set on these websites. To keep children safe online they have been taught to keep their passwords and logins safe from others.
Children can login to Purple Mash here.
Phonics Screening Check
At the end of Year 1 all children will take the national, statutory Phonics Screening Check. Your child's teacher will keep you updated on your child's progress and how you can support them.
Children can access lots of fun games to support their phonics learning at phonicsplay.co.uk/resources
Homework
Homework will be set on a Monday.
Reading Champions
Your child will be bringing their reading book home in their book bag every night. Please read with them as often as you can. If your child reads at least 3 times a week, they will earn a ‘Reading Champion’ sticker and will work towards a termly reward with Mrs Coleman with all of the Reading Champions across Northmoor Academy!
