2024-25

A very warm welcome from our Year 1 staff team! 

Our team comprises Miss Andrews, Mrs Ahmed and Mrs Mountford with Mrs Howson on Monday mornings, all day Tuesday and Wednesday mornings.

Please continue to check this page regularly for information and updates relating to our Year 1 class.  

Many subjects are taught daily, including English, Maths and Phonics. Others are taught in half-termly topics. For curriculum information, please see our Long Term Planning overview.

We look forward to welcoming your child into class and ask that you would please ensure that all items of school clothing are clearly marked with their name. This includes PE kits that should remain in school. Yoga is on a Wednesday afternoon and PE is on a Friday morning. Please ensure earrings are removed on these days. 

A clearly named water bottle should be brought to school each day to be sent home for washing and refilling at the end of the day.

If you have any queries at all, please do not hesitate to contact our class email at EMYear1@englishmartyrs.lancs.sch.uk 

  Phonics and Early Reading                                          

Please help and support your child's reading at home. It is important to continue rehearsing the phonics sounds taught and help spot these when reading. We will be learning phonics daily and supporting your child by learning the sounds they will be bringing home is a huge support.

Please continue to support your child at home and ensure you read daily with them. Happy reading!

Please, if you have any concerns do not hesitate to contact us.
