Welcome to Year 1

Phonics Screening - Parent Presentation

 Our PE days are Monday and Wednesday.

 

Swimming

We are very fortunate to have an outdoor pool which allows all of our pupils to swim during the summer term. This year, swimming lessons at Heather Ridge will start week commencing Wednesday 5th June and each child in Year One will be offered one thirty-minute lesson each week giving a total of SIX lessons per child for Year 1.

Each year group is split into five swimming groups of similar ability; a mixture of the two classes, boys and girls. Year 1 day for 2024 is Wednesday morning (AM).

Lessons are carried out by fully qualified instructors from Otters Swim Academy.

Swimming hats are compulsory for all children. Goggles are not to be worn unless there is a medical requirement, this is because we place on emphasis on learning water safety skills - a child is unlikely to be wearing goggles when falling accidentally in the water. If your child has a medical requirement for goggles, could you please provide a letter from your GP outlining the reason.
