Miss Brunt
Welcome to Year 1’s Class Page
Mobberley Primary School
My name is Miss Moore and I am the class teacher for Year 1 this year, whilst Mrs Millington is on her maternity leave.
Mrs Eadie is our class teaching assistant on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. She is very passionate about music and can often be found singing her way through school!
I am very excited to get to know every member of our new Year 1 class in the coming Spring term!
Timetable
This is what we get up to each week in Year 1!
Homework
Homework will be sent home on a Friday and should be returned by the following Wednesday.
Reading
Reading books will be sent home on Friday and should be returned the following Friday. Reading diaries must come in every day.
We also have a “share box” of reading books that students can bring home and share with their parents. These are to be read to the students not for them to read. Please only have one book home at a time.
