Welcome to Year 1.

We would like to take this chance to welcome you and your child to Year 1 and to introduce the team. Year 1 is made up of two classes, Wren class and Cliff class. The teachers are Mrs Matthews in Wren Class and Miss Breeze in Cliff Class.  Supporting us in the classroom, we have wonderful Learning Support Assistants: Miss Procter, Miss Sarwar, and Miss Anagnopoulou.

Over the year, your child will continue to be encouraged to become more independent and to take ownership of their own education. Throughout Year 1, we will focus on helping your child reach the standard required for the end of year 1 and help them to complete the Year 1 Phonics Screening Check. Please support your child by encouraging them to practice their sound cards at home and regularly reading their reading book that matches their phonic knowledge.

At Ivanhoe, we value reading immensely, including reading for pleasure. Reading opens the doors to everything.  We have lots of reading incentives at Ivanhoe, including our new book vending machine and Fred's reading rewards!

We strongly believe that, by working together, we can help ensure that your child will reach their full potential. We communicate most things through Class DOJO and we are always available to answer any questions!

Here’s to a fantastic year!
