KS1 Phonics
This week we have started our new phonics groups based on our latest phonics assessments. Your child will have been placed in a group that best matches their individual needs.
On Friday your child will bring home their latest phonics report which states which group your child has been placed in.
In Mrs Clay’s group the children have been remembering the /ee/ sound. Mrs Clay has been really impressed with the children’s effort and confidence in phonics over the past few weeks!
In Miss Rodgers group we are revising the sounds and red words we have already learned. We have been reading our consolidation book. We are focussing on improving our reading fluency.
In Miss Schön’s group this week we are working on confidence building and filling the gaps in our learning. We have been practising sounds/words we are finding tricky. It has been so lovely to see that already children are noticing their own personal progress! We will also be working on our reading fluency skills so that we can become confident readers.
In Mrs Leggott’s group we have moved on to the next sound in our learning. We are also learning how to answer reading comprehension questions.
Class 7 RE- nature and religion
Class 7 continued learning about Hindu stories and how the River Ganges was like a mother, as it helped the world grow through care and nourishment, with the help of Shiva. We created posters to show how the earth cares for us!
Class 7 pop art!
Today, Class 7 have continued working on their pop art and created some beautiful work that will go towards our final product!
Class 8 are artists!!!
Class 8 have been learning all about pop art and some of the famous pop artists, such as Andy Warhol.
The children then used some of the pop art printing styles and bright colours to create their own medals in this style. They look fabulous and will be great on our product at the key stage 1 presentation of learning.
well done class 8!
Crew Jackson – RE
This week in RE we talked about happiness and contentment. We discussed what makes us happy and when we feel content. As part of the lesson we enjoyed listening to music and thought about about how the songs made us feel. We finished the lesson by creating a happiness tree.
Crew Ambler – Adaptation
Yesterday in biology we learnt how animals adapt to live in their environment. We discussed the importance of adaptation and what would happen to animals if they don’t adapt to their environment.
Crew Ambler – RE
Yesterday In RE, we discussed what makes us happy and our rights as children. We then created our leaves to put on our happiness tree for display.
Crew Jackson – active learning today
Yesterday in both reading and science, we were active learners doing read and hunt around the room activities. In reading we read sentences from this week’s texts on ‘The Gunpowder Plot’ and ‘How fireworks work’, then made sensible attempts on the meaning of given words using the context to help us. In science we gathered facts from around the room about the adaptations of different plants and animals from the rainforest. We went on to teach a partner about an animal we had researched.
Class 7 pop art!
Class 7 began their pop art work! They worked hard and concentrated well on being able to cut out shapes accurately, print their dots and created beautiful pop art style patterns in their writing.
