Year 1

Welcome to Year 1!

(update coming soon)

Year One begins the children's journey into Key Stage One, so it's a very important year! We do lots of hands on leaning through our inspiring and creative curriculum.

We look forward to sharing our new and exciting news with you about all the fantastic things that happen in our Year 1 class.

If you have any questions or queries about your child/ren please feel free to catch myself or Mrs Green at the end of the day. Alternatively, you can contact myself on: v.wassell@forestdale.bham.sch.uk I will respond within 48 hours of your email.

What will the children need in school?

Each child will need to bring a water bottle to school every day.
Children can bring tuck money to buy toast or raisins (during break time) in Year 1 but they’re responsible for their own money so please send their money in a purse or wallet ready for them to put it into their money pot. Toast = 25p, raisin box = 30p.
