Crew Council / Extended Study- Kindness Week!

24th February 2025Sophie Myers

Before half term, Crew Council delivered some personalised kindness stones to show their appreciation for members of staff in school.

We spoke about how this links to our Character Trait of Compassion and how it was a rewarding experience for both those handing them out and for those receiving them.

Linking to Kindness Week – I wonder if you could show some compassion and kindness throughout this week?

You could:

  • Help tidy around the house
  • Be a good steward in the classroom
  • Shoutout for a crew member for something that they have done
  • Show your appreciation to someone in school or at home

I can’t wait to see lots of kindness and compassion around school!

Reception Phonics

13th February 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 digraph, say the digraph 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 – World Read Aloud Day! (5th February)

5th February 2025Sophie Myers

Today is World Read Aloud Day. To celebrate this, as well as National Storytelling Week, why don’t you spend some time reading one of your favourite books out loud!

You could read it to a grown up, a sibling, a friend, you could even read it to your favourite teddy!

Take a picture to share with us at school for our reading display – you can even email it to [email protected]

We’re looking forward to seeing lots of you enjoying your favourite stories!

Reception Phonics

For the last two weeks we have been consolidating our learning in phonics. We have been practising our new digraphs, our red words and beginning to construct and write sentences.

Below are the sounds that we need to keep practising. If your child has not received their reading books yet, it may be because the contract that was sent out still needs to be signed. Unfortunately, until this is signed we can’t give new books out. The link for this is below.

If you need support with this, please ask a member of the F2 Team.

Thanks
