Getting ready for reading ages 3-4
In F1, we love reading! Here are some tips for parents to encourage a love for reading at home.
Stay Safe on the Internet
Before your child has access to the internet please take a look at these rules about how to stay safe. During their time in F1, your child will meet Smartie the Penguin who will teach about how to use the internet safely. Click on this link to read Smarite's book. http://www.kidsmart.org.uk/teachers/ks1/readsmartie.aspx
Online Safety
We are aware that during these big life changes, with children spending their time at home, they may be accessing the internet more frequently than before; through internet searches, games and apps. Whilst this can be safe, if age-appropriate and overseen/approved by an adult, we want to ensure everyone remains safe, and so have put together some advice and resources to follow and explore.
8 steps to keep your child safe online this month
1. Explore together: Ask your child to show you their favourite websites and apps and what they do on them. Listen, show interest and encourage them to teach you the basics of the site or app.
2. Chat little and often about online safety: If you’re introducing them to new learning websites and apps while school is closed, take the opportunity to talk to them about how to stay safe on these services and in general. Ask if anything ever worries them while they’re online. Make sure they know that if they ever feel worried, they can get help by talking to you or another adult they trust.
3. Help your child identify trusted adults who can help them if they are worried: This includes you and other adults at home, as well as adults from wider family, school or other support services who they are able to contact at this time. Encourage them to draw a picture or write a list of their trusted adults.
4. Be non-judgemental: Explain that you would never blame them for anything that might happen online, and you will always give them calm, loving support.
5. Supervise their online activity: Keep the devices your child uses in communal areas of the house such as in the living room or kitchen where an adult is able to supervise. Children of this age should not access the internet unsupervised in private spaces, such as alone in a bedroom or bathroom.
6. Talk about how their online actions affect others: If your child is engaging with others online, remind them to consider how someone else might feel before they post or share something. If they are considering sharing a photo/video of somebody else, they should always ask permission first.
7. Use ‘SafeSearch’: Most web search engines will have a ‘SafeSearch’ function, which will allow you to limit the content your child can access whilst online. Look out for the ‘Settings’ button on your web browser homepage, which is often shaped like a small cog.
8. Parental controls: Use the parental controls available on your home broadband and all internet enabled devices in your home. You can find out more about how to use parental controls by visiting your broadband provider’s website.

Our Environment
ClassDojo
Remember to use your child's ClassDojo account to keep up to date with what we are doing. We often share important messages and you can see photos of your child's learning.
Some helpful reminders...
- Your child will need to bring a named water bottle with them every day
- Our PE day is Wednesday. Please make sure your child comes to school in their PE kit on Wednesday's.
- Please make sure that your child's clothes and PE kits are all labelled.
- On Friday afternoon we learn outdoors and need to have our wellies in school.
- Your child's reading book will be changed once a week. They may have a reading book and always a story book. As they progress they will also have a Read! Write! folder which needs to be returned to school each day.
- Each week, on their reading group day, we will check your child's reading diary to see how many times they have read at home. If they have managed to read three times or more at home they will receive a gold star in their diary. The gold stars count towards the reading pin challenge and can't be back dated, unless a child has been absent.
- If your child would like a piece of toast as a snack in the morning, please remember to top up your Parent Pay account.
Many thanks, F2 team
Our Achievements
We are all special and unique and work hard to be the best we can be. We are proud of what we achieve and we hope you are too! On a Friday we choose someone who has been a shining star that week and attend a whole school assembly to celebrate their achievement.
E-Safety
We have some rules to help us to be safe when we are online. We follow our SMART rules and Smartie the Penguin has also helped us to make good choices. Read Smartie's story by clicking on the link below.
Welcome to Class 1A
We are a mixed group of year 1 and year 2 children.
Our teacher is Mr Robinson.
Miss Newton is our other main adult who works with us in 1A but we work with all of the Key Stage 1 staff at different times.
Welcome to Spring Term 2026!
This term we are learning about Materials.
KS1 are brilliant at enquiring and asking interesting questions and so we have set them lots of challenges this term to get their brains buzzing!
KS1 will become scientists and pose the question- Could tyres be made out of any other materials? To find answers we will be exploring cars and testing the properties of different materials. We will then apply our learning and make our very own car using our design skills. After half term, we will be travelling back in time to the Victorian Era and discovering how life has changed. We will also learn to be portrait artists drawing pictures of Queen Victoria using pencil skills.
See below for all of our knowledge organisers and sequence of learning for the whole year.
2025-2026
A few little reminders...
- Your child will need a labelled water bottle in school every day.
- Mondays and Wednesdays are our PE days. Please come to school wearing PE kit and school jumpers/cardigans on PE days. Long hair needs tying back and earrings either removed or covered up for safety purposes
- Your child will continue to receive a free piece of fruit every day
- If your child would like to order toast then you must do this through your MCAS App. This is prebooked and paid for before the day.
- We will change your child's reading books every Friday. They will need to bring all reading books and their diary into school every day. This will allow us to read with them when we can and change their books each Friday.
- We cannot backdate the children's reading so please ensure they have their diary every Friday so they can be given their stars towards their reading pins.
- Please check that all the children's items of clothing are labelled.

Spring Term 2026
Our focus for the Spring term will be based on our Geography work on 'Location, Location, Location'. In each class we will focus on a different European country (2D - Spain, 2E - Poland and 2F - France) and present our knowledge to each other. In R.E, we will be looking at the question 'Is it better to express your religion in arts and architecture or in charity and generosity?' - we will look at sacred buildings, art and charitable work from different religions. In our History after half term, we will look at Crime and Punishment and how this has changed through different historical time periods. Within Science, we will look at electrical circuits and link this to building pressure pads in DT. In Art the children will look at 'The Witches' and create their own interpretation of the piece. In PE, the children will be focusing gymnastics and creating their own routines using apparatus. In computing, we will be doing some video creation and editing. In English we will be learning about Philippe Petit and his walk between the twin towers. We will then study Macbeth and write a diary as if we are him.
We have lots of fun things planned for this Spring term so please keep an eye on our Dojo pages for updates.

Welcome to Class 2E!
Mr Phillips (full-time)
UKS2 Teaching Assistants - Mrs Murray, Miss Barker and Miss Fletcher
Key Reminders
- We arrive promptly to school at 8.50am. We finish at 3.30pm.
- Thursdays and Fridays are our PE days. Please send them to school in PE kit on a Thursday. Children need PE kit in school on a Friday.
- Reading homework is to read their book banded books 3 times per week. An adult must sign their diary so that they earn stamps towards reading pins. Diaries are checked on Fridays.
- Spellings are given out every two weeks. These are not tested but your child can achieve house points for showing evidence or a signed diary to say they have practices at home.
- Mathematics homework is to learn all times tables that are not already known. If you know all of them to 12x12, start on the next ones i.e. 13, 14, 15 times table etc. Don't forget the 25 times table - which is a very useful one! Tables are tested every Friday and house points given to children who pass a challenge or improve on their previous scores. Your child can also achieve house points for practicing this on TTRS.
After October half-term holiday, we will be using class dojo as a communication app between school and home. We will be posting weekly updates about the children's learning. Please see the QR code outside of the classroom or check your emails from the office to sign up.

Spring Term 2026
Our focus for the Spring term will be based on our Geography work on 'Location, Location, Location'. In each class we will focus on a different European country (2D - Spain, 2E - Poland and 2F - France) and present our knowledge to each other. In R.E, we will be looking at the question 'Is it better to express your religion in arts and architecture or in charity and generosity?' - we will look at sacred buildings, art and charitable work from different religions. In our History after half term, we will look at Crime and Punishment and how this has changed through different historical time periods. Within Science, we will look at electrical circuits and link this to building pressure pads in DT. In Art the children will look at 'The Witches' and create their own interpretation of the piece.
