Year 1: Phonics


Year 1 and Year 2 will be holding a family learning session where we invite parents, carers and grandparents into school to support the children with their learning! We will be doing some DT that links to our castle expedition and we think the children will love it! I hope lots of you can make it into school.
Year 1 – Tuesday 15th October 2024 – 1.30pm
Year 2 – Thursday 17th October 2024 – 1.30pm



We had such fun yesterday, listening to Mr Pickles play rock music, as well as having a go at line dancing in the hall with Mrs Rayner. We had a party at lunch time in the hall and still managed to squeeze in maths, expedition, handwriting, spelling and reading…have a fabulous weekend everyone!






Well done to all of our winners this week! It was fabulous listening to how great you’ve been this week. A huge well done to Crew Rodger’s again for having fantastic attendance and being our phase winners this week. I love our assemblies and hope all of the adults enjoy them too. Can’t wait for next week too!
It’s fair to say that baseball was a hit with Year 1 and 2 during our American day. I was so impressed with the skill showed and how accurate their shots were. We practiced our hitting and there were some definite home runs! Well done Year 1 and 2!















As a celebration of Reading Week and to help decorate our reading area class 6 have a request. We would like to display photographs of us reading in unusual places. This could be in the garden, in the dark, in the bath, in the dog’s kennel…the more unusual the better! Be as imaginative and inventive as you like! See below for photographs of past year groups for inspiration!
You can print them and send them in or email them to me at…
Thank you in advance

This week we have been revisiting the /ure/ sound. The children have been really proud of their reading and sentence writing and their new found confidence is really beginning to show. Keep practising year 1 we are so proud of the progress we are seeing!

A huge thank you to Pandora who came back to visit her old classroom today and shared a story with Class 6. The children loved listening to Pandy read and it was great to hear her using all the phonics skills – expression and punctuation – that she learned while in my class all those years ago….she read beautifully!
Thanks so much Pandora…come and see us again soon x




How many of these children’s books can you work out from the emojis? Add your answers in the comments!

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?
