On Friday 15th November, we will be celebrating and raising money for CIN.

This years theme is SUPERHEROES so we would love to see lots of you dressed in your favourite costumes. Don’t worry because if not you can also come in Yellow/Spotty clothes, non-uniform or even your pyjamas!

There will be a BUN SALE on this day so if you would like to donate any buns please bring them in to Crew leaders. Buns will be sold at 50p and each child will receive ONE bun.

Year 1: Phonics Family Learning

6th November 2024Carly Schon

We would like to invite parents of Year 1 children to join our Phonics and Shared Reading lessons for a day. This will be a live lesson with a teacher delivering the normal daily lesson to a group of children. You are invited to observe the lesson and to partner up with your child so they can show you the skills they are learning. As this is a live lesson we are unfortunately unable to allow any younger siblings into the classrooms for these sessions.

This session will be useful for parents/carers to see how children learn phonics in school and how they learn to read and write. This will help parents understand how they can support children at home with their school reading books.

As we have 4 phonics groups these sessions will need to take place over two days:

Tuesday 12th November – Miss Schon and Miss Rodgers phonics groups

Wednesday 13th November – Miss Cooper and Mrs Clay’s phonics groups

Your child will bring a letter home tomorrow highlighting which day you are able to attend.

The session will run from 9am-10am. Tea and coffee will be available in the school hall after 8:30am for parents to wait for the sessions to begin. Miss Schon and Miss Rodgers will also be available at 10am after the sessions have finished if you have any further questions or concerns.

We kindly ask that you arrive to the lesson promptly as late comers will impact on the children’s learning.

We hope you can make it!

Miss Schon and Miss Rodgers

Class 5: Lincoln Castle

5th November 2024Carly Schon

Class 5 had an amazing day on our first day back at school after the half term break! We travelled on a big coach all the way to Lincoln to explore Lincoln Castle! We walked along the walls of the castle and looked at the view. We also took part in some super workshops. We enjoyed acting out a medieval banquet, making swords, handling armour and shooting bows and arrows! It was so much fun. One of the highlights of the day was of course lunchtime! The children enjoyed having an indoor picnic and catching up with their friends. It was lovely to see the awe and wonder on the children’s faces throughout the day. The coach journey home was a lot quieter than on the way there 🙂
