Belfast

We are a year 1 class.

PE is on Tuesday and Wednesday and your child should wear a PE kit for school that day.

Snack money is £2 per half term or £12 per year and should be paid via the ParentPay app.

Smiley Awards:

We can earn smiley awards for many things in school and love to hear the ping when Miss adds them to our chart! Here are some of the things we can get them for:

 – A smiley every time we bring our book to school (5 a week!)

 – 5 smileys for reading our book 3 times

– Extra smileys are given for good listening, excellent manners, helping others and working hard!

Children visit Miss Wrigley when they reach 150 (bronze), 300 (silver), 450 (gold) and 600 (platinum).

Reading:

Your child should read their phonics reading book 3 times (on different days). The first time helps them to read new words, the second helps to become familiar with the story and on their third read they can read it like a story teller.

Please write in their reading record each time and tell Miss McAllister or Mrs Hayden when the book is finished.

Maths:

At home we can practise our number facts by logging onto Numbots using our username and password from inside our reading records.

Seesaw:

 Please check Seesaw regularly for messages or homework that links to your child’s learning in class. Although there is a messaging facility, this may not be checked every day and will not be checked after 5pm or at weekends. Please contact the school office with urgent messages.

Belfast’s extra-curricular club this half term is ‘Phonics tutoring.’ We will be playing lots of Phonics games! You can join by filling in the form on the app.
