Information for Parents

Welcome to Key Stage 1

Please click below to view the 'Curriculum Overviews' and 'Welcome to Year 1 and Year 2' parent meetings, for any information you might need regarding your child moving into their new class.

P.E Day

Skiddaw's P.E days are Thursdays and Friday. Please ensure your child comes to school on these days wearing their P.E uniform and has their school water bottle.

Our school P.E uniform is plain black shorts, jogging bottoms or leggings, a gold t-shirt with school badge and plain trainers.

Home Reading Books

Please read with your child at home for 10 minutes each day to help develop their decoding, fluency and comprehension skills. Please write a comment and sign in your child's reading record when you have read with them. If you need any help with how to support your child with reading at home please speak to member of staff in class or follow the link to the reading area of our website.Send in their reading record on a Friday morning and hand it in to the class teacher or STA.  If your child has read at least 3 times through the week, they will  receive a stamp/signature in their reading record. After 6 stamps your child will receive a bronze reading certificate. This is then followed by a silver reading certificate and a gold certificate along with a book to keep.

Children will receive new Read, Write Inc books every Wednesday. In addition to this, extra books are available in our reading sheds in the school yard. Please help yourself and return when you have finished.

We also have a class story box that is sent home with a child on a Friday. This includes a teddy, hot chocolate and blanket to enjoy with your child as you read the story together.
