Class 6 RE
In our RE session this afternoon we focused our recent learning on the 6 main religions in the UK on Christianity. We found out about their Holy book and place of worship and discussed the ceremonies carried out in Church. We finished our lovely peaceful afternoon by colouring bookmarks showing some Christian symbols.
Well done everyone x

Don’t forget to practice as often as possible so that you can beat your ‘word count per minute’ scores!
Year 1: Phonics Drop In
Thank you to the families that joined us for our Phonics Drop In after school on Thursday. It was really lovely to meet you all. We will run these events throughout the year but in the meantime if you have any questions or concerns we are always happy to help! I was asked if there are nay apps to support phonics learning. The best way you can support phonics learning at home is by practising phonics homework, red words and reading books. This can be done in fun ways using flashcards, letter/word/sound hunts around the home etc. Please see the photographs below for some ideas. There are a couple of websites that have games that support recognition of phonics sounds, word reading and sentence reading, som of the games are free to access. I have also listed these below. We hope you can join us at our next phonics event!
Games to support phonics learning:

Baseball was a hit!
We went down to the ‘ball park’ and it was filled with budding baseball ears trying to hit a home run. What a lovely lunchtime and so full of enthusiasm. Well done Year 1 and 2 for being so sensible and getting into the baseball spirit!
Crew Rodgers: British Values – Democracy
Crew Rodgers exercised their right to be part of decisions which affect them TWICE this morning. First we discussed and suggested new items for Relish to offer on the salad bar at lunchtime – and the children came up with some delicious ideas, and then we were tasked with holding a vote on which platform we think our recent musical project “A Place Where We Belong” should be hosted. We linked the decision to our Character Traits and voted unanimously for the platform which offered us the opportunity to help other people with our song. I was so proud of the mature way the children debated the issue to make the decision.
Great job Crew!
Class 6 RE
Today in our RE lesson we looked at places of worship and compared them with our school. We found out that there are lots of similarities in the two and thought about some of the activities we do in school.
Great job superstars!
Year 1: Phonics
This week in phonics Miss Schön and Miss Rodgers group have been learning /ou/ ‘Shout it out!’.
We have been reading the book ‘An Outing in the Woods’. We have discussed the the vocabulary and the meaning of different words and phrases.
We now know 2 differerent /ow/ sounds
/ow/ as in cow, brown and town
/ou/ as in out, shout and loud
We have also learned that words can end in el or le and the ‘e’ is silent
We have also learned that when there is a ‘st‘ next to each other the ‘t’ is silent
This was a lot of leaning but the children have been doing so well with this! Keep it up boys and girls and don’t forget to practice as often as possible so that you can beat your ‘word count per minute’ scores!
