Holly Class

Welcome to Holly Class!

Holly Class (Year 1) is taught by Mrs Baker. Miss Nelson supports the class every day and also supervises lunchtimes.

During the Summer Term of Year 1, pupils take part in the government's Phonics Screening Check which assesses their knowledge of grapheme-phoneme correspondences. Daily reading of the book your child brings home and practice of tricky words is the best way you can support your child to do well - not just in phonics - but across all subject areas. 

Pupils in Holly Class continue to enjoy weekly Forest School sessions linked to the wider curriculum every Tuesday. We're very lucky to have our own school wood; the changing natural environment provides a wonderful space for your child to learn, explore and challenge themselves in a safe and familiar setting.
