Autumn Term 2024

WELCOME TO CLASS 1!  
Children in Class 1 will be supported by Class Teacher Mrs Watson and TAs Mrs Jones and Mrs Woodhouse. 
Our PE session is on a Wednesday afternoon and children should come to school in their PE kit. If your child is unable to tie their laces, please send them in velcro trainers. Please ensure long hair is tied up and earrings are taken out or covered.  
Children should bring a warm coat in the colder months, a waterproof coat in the wet weather and a sunhat if needed. Children should come to school wearing sun cream when necessary.  
Please ensure your child brings a drink bottle every day.

DOJO REWARDS  
We use the Class Dojo online reward system in Class 1. Each child has their own monster and each time they have gained 10 dojos, they will be able to give it a new look! For every 50 dojos children gain, they will win a prize. Children can earn dojos by reading at home, helping others, trying hard in their work or with their spellings and generally being role models to the other children.  
READING & PHONICS  
To promote a love of reading, every child will receive a dojo each time they read at home! Please listen to your child read regularly, just 5-10 minutes a day will make all the difference. We will send a new reading book home with your child each week. Some of them may be more challenging than others and it is fine to help them when they need it. Reading diaries are for recording what they have read at home (school books or their own) and in school. They need to be brought in every day.

KIRFS 
At Wistanstow, we take part in a new KIRFs activity every half term to build up our mathematic skills. We do this activity 3 times over the half term and try to improve our score each time. Children will be sent home with a homework activity at the start of each half term that will help them with this. They may need help from an adult to read and have a go at them. More information about this is below.
