Welcome Back Year 1
- Year 1 classroom
- All the things you need!
- Play box for outside play
- Please only use the toilets in Helvellyn
Year 1, we are looking forward to seeing you so very much on Monday. When you come into the classroom you will need to find your new peg with your name on it. Your next job is to go to the toilet to wash your hands for 20 seconds. When you’ve done that we would like you to find your own special place to sit with your morning task ready for you to start. Then you will be able to order a delicious packed lunch – will you choose egg, ham, cheese or tuna for your filling?
Mrs Farraday will meet you on the playground and Mrs Mackereth will be waiting for you in Helvellyn Classroom.
See you all soon!

We are so excited to be welcoming back most of our Reception pupils on Wednesday.

It does look a bit different and we are going to need to get used to some new routines, but don’t worry Mrs Harwood and Miss Butler will be here to show you the way so that we can have lots of fun in our learning.
When you come into school, please find your new peg in the main corridor to put your bag and your coat. Your next job is to wash your hands for 20 seconds while you sing Happy Birthday!! Somebody in school is celebrating their birthday this week – Can you find out who it is? Next you need to come into your classroom to find your name on a little foot or a little hand and then the fun can begin!
