Year 1 & 2 B
Mrs Brereton and Mrs Morris | Year 1 Teachers
My name is Mrs Brereton, this is my fifth year at The John Bamford Primary School. I feel very lucky to be part of such a wonderful school community and am excited to begin another fantastic year of learning with your children.
Outside of school, I have three daughters who keep me very busy! I love spending time with my family, and together with my husband and our family dog, Gus, we enjoy going on family trips and making special memories together.
I am really looking forward to getting to know each of the children and sharing our wonderful adventures throughout the year. We have lots of exciting learning experiences planned, and I can't wait to see the children grow in confidence, develop new skills, and enjoy their learning along the way.
Hi, my name is Mrs Morris and I have been working at The John Bamford Primary School for 18 years. During that time, I have worked in Nursery, Reception, Key Stage One and Key Stage Two. When I'm not at school I look after my two little boys with my husband. Together we enjoy walking, singing, swimming and playing Pokémon or dinosaurs!
In Year 1, children continue their learning of Phonics in preparation for the Phonics Screening Check in June. In these lessons, children are set weekly spellings linked to the Phonics graphemes that they have been learning as well as the common exception words for Year 1. Your child will read with an adult at school but reading regularly at home will support your child’s reading development and progress.
From the moment children enter Year 1, we work alongside parents/guardians to build their child’s independence. This means that we ask that they come into the cloakroom by themselves and are responsible for their belongings and actions. If your child has shoes that have laces, please practice tying these laces with your child.
