KS1: Miss Schon’s Phonics Group

This week we have been learning /ea/ ‘Time for tea. We have been learning to read and spell words containing our three known /ee/ graphemes. We know that some words only use one ‘e’ for /ee/ and some use ‘ee’ or ‘ea’.

I have been really impressed with he children’s effort and enthusiasm and I can tell the children have been practising their red words and reading books at home! I have heard some super reading over the past few weeks! This week we have been working on our accuracy and checking that we look carefully and words to ensure we read them correctly.

We now have a new ‘fun phonics’ session in an afternoon where we have also been learning about split digraphs. Yesterday we learned about split digraph /a-e/ like in the words cake, bake, sale, take, snake. The children loved learning about split digraphs!

Please remember to send reading books back every Friday so that I can change the children’s shared reading books in our phonics session.

Thank You

Crew Council / Extended Study- Kindness Week!

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!

Maths Week Activity 2!

Thank you to everyone who took part in the first activity of the week; we have had some fantastically creative work handed in! Are you ready for challenge two?

Maths is around us and we are constantly using language linked to maths in our everyday life. Can you create a poster that celebrates math vocabulary?

Your task is to create an A to Z poster! I wonder how creative you can make it….can you add images for each word? Which colours will you use?

Here is an example below although I know our children can do much better!

Well done to Adam who shared this amazing work for activity 1!

Extended Study – World Read Aloud Day! (5th February)

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!
