“Welcome to Year One at Hunter’s Bar Infant School!”
In our classrooms we have a wide range of activities and resources to support our learning; including role play, creative resources, writing activities, sand, construction materials, and small world play.
We go outside most day; learning outdoors in all weathers.
Along side our creative learning we also learn through whole class lessons, writing at tables, undertaking science experiments, completing maths tasks, and more.
Over the year we will look at a variety of different topics. In the past these topics have included learning about the UK, famous bridges, significant people, Antarctica, the rainforest, and more.
You can find a Weekly Summary of the upcoming week’s learning on Seesaw each Monday.
Home Learning is posted to Seesaw activities each Friday.
Throughout the year we look forward to many trips into the local community – such as to Endcliffe Park and to the Citadel. We have also enjoyed visits further afield such as to Conisbrough Castle, Yorkshire Sculpture Park and more.
Parent Involvement
At Hunter’s Bar Infant School we value the importance of a strong parent-school partnership. We recognise that children learn and develop well when this partnership is strong.
Parents and/or carers are kept up to date with their child’s progress and development through informal conversations and messages with staff, parents’ evenings, Reachmore and via our online learning platform Seesaw.
We also really value the importance of showing children the wider world. If you have a particular talent or skill you would like to share with the children then please let us know. In the past we have had parent artists, poets, musicians, police officers, doctors and scientists come and talk to the children. We have visits from school workshops which encourage interactive learning. We really appreciate people giving up their valuable time when they can, to help the children with artwork, play games or read with them.
If you would like to volunteer to help with talks and visits, on school trips, or to volunteer in our class with reading, etc. Please talk come and talk to one of us.
Reading
Reading is very important. We encourage children to read daily. Your child’s class teachers will record their in-school reading and we encourage parents/carers to record home reading in their child’s Reading Diary.
For every 5 reads done your child will receive a stamp on their Reading Challenge chart displayed in the classroom. When your child has completed their Reading Challenge chart they will receive a certificate in our weekly Celebration Assembly.

PE
Your child should have a PE kit in school each day. This can be left at school, in a named bag, on their cloakroom peg.
Further details of suitable PE kit can be find at https://huntersbarinfantschool.co.uk/school-uniform/
Reading Diary
Your child’s Reading Diary should be sent into school each day, in their bookbag so that teaching staff can access them quickly and easily.
Reading Diaries will be issued to all pupils at the beginning of the year.
