Meet your Teachers

Hello! My name is Miss Webb and I am your Class Teacher.

This is my second year teaching at Ashwood and I am very excited to be your new teacher. I have a dog called Tilly. When I am not at school I love taking Tilly on long walks. I also love travelling to different places and spending time with my family and friends. I am very excited to be your new class teacher and I can’t wait to see you all! We’re going to have a great time in Year 1!

Class Information

Here is some key information that you need to know

Your child will be taught phonics every day. This will help them to continue to develop their reading ability and skills. We use the programme Read Write Inc. to teach phonics, which your child should be familiar with.
Your child will receive a reading book to bring home. We expect each child to read this book 3 times before it is changed. This will help your child become familiar with different stories, along with developing their reading and comprehension skills. We run a competition throughout the year in Year 1 to find our reader(s) of the week. This is the child who has read the most times at home.
We will read with your child in school as often as we can, therefore, we expect that your child brings their reading book to school every day.
Our P.E days are a Monday and a Thursday.
Your child’s work and achievements will continue to be celebrated in weekly Special Mentions assemblies!
