Due to circumstances beyond our control, the school has had to close. However, this does not mean the children’s learning needs to stop. Every child should have received the home learning pack after Government advice to shut schools on Friday 20th March.
In the documents link at the bottom of the page is a suggested timetable. This includes a range of resources such as; Purple Mash, Serial Mash, BBC Bitesize, Numbots and Maths No Problem to support your child through this difficult time. If you have any concerns or internet login issue problems,
please email schoolcommunication@st-ambrose.manchester.sch.uk
I have attached some 'Extra Home-Learning Packs' under the documents tab at the bottom of the screen. Please use these if you are having trouble with online learning.
Thank you

Children can also share their learning to a class display board for the teacher and their friends to view. Children should check daily for new activities or any updates.

In Year One, we work and play together, helping each other to achieve our best. We try really hard to work independently, persevere and aim high! We enjoy learning practically, exploring new topics and having fun!
Year 1 is a transition year as we start Key Stage 1 National Curriculum but we aim to make this as smooth as possible. Year 1 is a mixture of children learning through play and more formal tasks which will evolve by the end of the year so they are prepared for Year 2.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to make an appointment with me.
Thank you
