Typical Year 1 Timetable

Key Information

• Library day is Thursday.

• Children to come to school in PE kit on Monday.

• Reading books will be given out on a Friday and must be returned on a Monday.

• Children to bring a water bottle and a healthy snack every day.

Communicating with your child's class teacher: 

Our direct year group email is year1@stmatthewsleeds.co.uk. As both classes use this email, please make it clear in the subject line who the email is for (FAO Mrs Cowling/Mrs Mahmood or Miss McBeth). 

Collecting your child at the end of the day:

We have now learned most parents'/carers' faces which is great for a speedy home time dismissal. If your child is being collected by another person, please ensure that your child's class teacher is aware of this in advance. The best way to do this is by contacting the school office. Due to safeguarding reasons, we cannot release a child to a person without prior instruction from the parent/carer. 

Names in clothing:

Please ensure that your child's clothing is clearly labelled with their name so their clothing can be rightfully returned (should it be taken off).
