Can you demonstrate changing state with something you have at home?

E.g. You could freeze water and melt ice cubes, melt chocolate, boil water etc. Take photographs and send to your class teacher so we can celebrate your science learning!

Year 1 Spellings

4th March 2025Carly Schon

For the next few weeks we will be consolidating our red words spellings. By this point we would like children to be spelling most of the words from sets 1-3 accurately. For the next few weeks can you practise each set at home and see how many spellings you can remember? Which ones do you need to practise? Each child will be different, work a the set that matches your child’s own ability. Once one step is mastered move on to the next step (or line) of spellings. I wonder how many you will know by the end of this half term?

KS1: Miss Schon’s Phonics Group

4th March 2025Carly Schon

I have seen some beautiful reading this week. The children’s confidence is growing week on week and it is so lovely to see. The children are also becoming much more confident with their sentence writing. Now we are working to secure our spelling skills. Keep it up – I am so proud of you.

In addition to this the children have also been doing some extra phonics lessons in the afternoons. This week and next week we will be learning the split digraph sounds like Miss Rodger’s and Mrs Clay’s group. So far we have learned /a-e/, /e-e/ and /i-e/. I wonder if you can read words for the sheets below?
