Extended Study – Transition – ALL ABOUT ME!

8th July 2025Sophie Myers

During the next two weeks, can you create something about yourself for your new teacher?

You can be as creative as you wish.

You could:

  • Create some artwork similar to the examples above
  • Create a set of slides with information and pictures
  • Write a letter to your new teacher to tell them all the wonderful things about yourself
  • Complete the transition booklet that is attached to this post

Your new teachers can’t wait to meet you all this week and what a lovely way to help them to get to know you better!

Extended Study – Thank you day!

30th June 2025Sophie Myers

Thank You Day is a national initiative in the UK dedicated to expressing gratitude to individuals and groups who make a positive impact in our communities. Originally launched in 2021 to acknowledge the efforts of NHS staff and other key workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, the day has since evolved into a broader celebration of appreciation and community spirit.

We would like to get involved by saying a big thank you to different people within our local community.

Create a postcard, thank you card or poster to someone in our community that you want to say THANK YOU to.

Make a list in Crew of all the people you want to say thank you to and bring in your completed cards next Monday! We would love to deliver some of the cards before the end of Summer Term!

Reception Phonics

20th June 2025Amanda Wallace

This week in Phonics we have been covering the following sound. The sounds will be sent out for the children to be practising to recognise the trigraph, say the trigraph and then write the grapheme.

The children are really starting to learn and retain those sounds but will need support to blend those sounds together. Have a go at the green words and the more they hear those sounds being blended the easier it will become. There is a sentence to read on the bottom of the sheet also. Reading this and also reading the reading books that the children now have will all help to increase and improve the children’s fluency in their reading.

Thanks

Mrs Wallace and Mrs Jones.

Extended Study – WALK TO SCHOOL WEEK!

16th May 2025Sophie Myers

Walk to School Week is run by the charity Living Streets and is a yearly event to raise awareness of walking and other active ways to travel. This year’s event will be taking place 19 – 23 May 2025. This year’s challenge will see pupils take on The Great Space Walk, encouraging them to travel actively to school every day of the week. 

In Crew we will be sharing how we have travelled to school each day. I wonder if you’re up to the challenge?

Extra activities to get involved in:

You could even get involved by counting how many steps you walk each day.

Why don’t you design your own Spacesuit or Alien mascot for ‘Walk To School Week’

How would you design your own pair of walking shoes?
