Welcome to the Beanie Hat's Class Page
Our teacher is Miss Maddocks and our teaching assistant is Mrs Pearce.


We are very creative in the Beanie class and our teachers love to use creativity to make learning memorable and bring learning to life. We care about our friends and look after each other in our class. We have another member of our class who is furry, Smudge the rabbit. We all work together to look after him

Reading
Daily Reading - Year 1 is a really important year for reading. We are trying to improve our fluency, our prosody and our comprehension skills. We read in school every day so it is really, really important that your child has their reading folder every day.
Reading at home - It is really important that children read at home to a grown up, every day. This will help them to make good progress in all areas of reading.
Reading Folders - Reading books from our reading scheme are very expensive to replace. In an attempt to keep them in good condition, we will only send them home in a reading packet we have provided or green school reading folders you have purchased. Please do not place them in back packs where drinks bottles can spill on them. Unfortunately, books are £5 to replace if lost or damaged.
Changing Books - On Thursday evenings we will keep your child's reading folder and change their book ready for the next week. Please try to ensure that the folder is in school on Thursday's. We are really sorry, but if your child does not return their book, we cannot provide them with a new book until it has been returned.
