Hepworth Class - Reception/Year 1 2025 - 2026

Welcome to

Hepworth Class

Our class teacher is:

Miss Tipping

Reading Books:

Children will have  reading practice sessions everyday, where they will read a phonetically decodable text selected by the class teacher. This will be taken home with them at the end of the week. Children will each have the opportunity to select a library book of their choice to take home too.  Library books are to be shared together. Books will be swapped weekly. 

Reading books  will usually be changed every Friday.

Library books will usually be changed every Wednesday.

Our PE days are:

Year 1: Monday and Wednesday

Reception: Wednesday

Please remember that your child needs to come to school in their PE kit on their PE days. Children WILL NOT be getting changed in school.

Remember: Earrings and other jewellery are NOT to be worn on PE days.

Homework:

Homework books are collected on a Monday and new work is sent home every Friday. 

Each week 'Homework Challenge' sheets will be sent home. The majority of this work should be completed by the child, with support and guidance given from adults at home. Don't forget to bring your homework challenges back with you on Monday morning! 

Homework challenges will also be set via our online platform Purplemash. Login details will be in the children's homework books and a letter will inform parents if the homework for the week is to be complete via Purple mash.

Things to remember:

• Bring bookbags to school everyday.
• Read your reading practise books at home and fill out their purple reading record book.
• Library books are changed every Wednesday.
• Check out the class blog page each week to see what exciting things we have done in school.
