Year 1 Key Messages Meeting – Resources and Questions asked
Year 1 Curriculum key messages 2020 Parents – pdf of presentation
These resources will be available on the Year 1 section of the website too.
Questions parents asked at the meeting:
As Tapestry isn’t being used this year, will we get a PDF to download of last year’s Tapestry?
Yes. This will be available soon.
Is there homework set?
Yes. This will be set on Google Classrooms in the near future. In Year 1, as part of their homework, we expect them to read frequently and learn their keywords. We will also send spellings home weekly, which will be on Google Classrooms. Later in the year, there will be maths and English tasks, which will also be set on Google Classrooms. All home learning will be found in your child’s class page, e.g. 1J-2020, 1C-2020, 1P-2020.
Is there work for children who are self-isolating?
Yes. If your child is well enough, then there will be work available on Google Classrooms in the Year 1-2020 Classwork. They can send any work back to their teacher to look at through Google Classrooms. This work is only for children who are self-isolating.
Can we have all the keywords on Google Classrooms?
Yes – we will make these available for you, either in Google Classrooms or on the website.
Will there be a way of recording their home reading, similar to the reading log last year?
No – we will not be using reading logs this year. Teachers keep records of when they read with your child and the books they are reading. If you have any questions about your child’s reading, then please email the Year 1 account.
How do I speak to my child’s teacher, when I have to keep 2m from the door?
Please email the Year 1 account (Year1@stmarksce.org.uk) for any concerns you have about your child. The teachers monitor this daily. If you have an urgent message, then please let the office know and they will inform the teacher.
