Class 6 impressive first spelling check

27th September 2024Jayne Rodgers

A huge shout out to Erin, Paisley, Freya and Aurora who all scored full marks in our first weekly spelling check today and got to choose a treat from Miss Rodgers’ special prize box.

Great job girls! I wonder if any of the boys will score full marks next week?

Faith Day in Class 6

27th September 2024Jayne Rodgers

Today in class 6 we tried to answer the question – ‘What is religion?’. We found out that there are 6 major world religions – Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Sikhi, Judaism and Hinduism. We also discovered that although the teachings of each religion are different, all of them share three basic principles. Faith – that what they believe is true, Hope – that by following the teachings of their religion they can make the world a better place and Love – for their God and each other.

The children then collaborated to make a stunning piece of art work and decided that the answer to the question ‘What is religion?’ is a set of rules that people believe will help them live a good life.

Fantastic job Class 6. Proud of you as always.

Arise, Sir Martin. Y1’s Special Visitor.

26th September 2024Jayne Rodgers

We were very lucky today to have a visit from Sir Martin of Lamb, a knight from medieval times, who came to tell us all about castles and what it was like to live in one! He was very impressed with the children’s knowledge and we all got a chance to attack different types of castle walls to find out which one was strongest. The children had lots of fabulous questions for Sir Martin and loved having him visit.

Thanks so much for coming!

Year 1 Phonics

25th September 2024Carly Schon

This week in Miss Schon and Miss Rodger’s phonics groups we have been remembering the /air/ grapheme. The children have been really impressing us with the improvement in their speed and accuracy when reading words and sentences. This week we have also seen lots more progress in children’s sentence writing. The children are working very hard and putting lots of effort into their learning! Keep it up Y1 we are so proud of you!

Can you read the words on your homework sheet? For an extra challenge can you sound out and write the words without looking?

Phonics at Home

24th September 2024Jayne Rodgers

Here are some interactive phonics games and fun songs for you to use at home to consolidate the work done by the children in class. Most of the children in Y1 are just beginning phase 4 phonics but practising any of the previous phases would be beneficial to aid fluency. If you have any questions or if any of the links don’t work, please let us know.
