Mrs Waite: Year 1 Teacher
Meet the Teacher
I started teaching at Abbey Hulton Primary in January 2019 and am really enjoying teaching the children here!
I am passionate about providing children with a thirst for learning and believe that all children can achieve to their full potential if provided with the right opportunities.
I feel privileged to be your child’s teacher and hope to make their experience in Year 1 a memorable one.

Information for Parents
Dear Parents/ Carers,
Welcome to Year 1’s Class Page! Here you will find links to our class newsletters, curriculum plans, Year 1 assessment information, ways to support your child at home and pictures of our learning.
Year 1 Expectations
Our key focus in Year 1 is developing children’s early reading skills. Home learning will be sent home weekly and will include sight words and spellings.
It is extremely important that you spend time listening to and supporting your child with their reading as often as possible. Reading books should be returned daily so that we can ensure books are changed and we are able to support your child with their reading book. See the ‘Reading’ section of our class page for ideas and tips on ways to support reading at home.
Our PE days are Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Please ensure that your child has their full PE kit in school and no earrings in. Long hair must also be tied back.
Year 1 have put their baking skills to good use today as they baked and decorated their own delicious shortbread love heart cookies just in time for Valentines Day. We also enjoyed dancing with a partner to some love songs! We hope you enjoy the surprises from your special little Valentines.
