Year 1/2 and 3/4 presentation of learning reminder!

11th March 2024Rebecca Knowles

Don’t forget that our KS1 and Y3/4 presentation of learning takes place on Friday 22nd March 4pm – 5pm. This is a combined event so if you have children in both phases, you can celebrate them both at the same time!

We have been so impressed by the children’s art work and can’t wait to share their work with you in our special gallery!

We really hope you can join us in this exciting collaborative celebration!

If you have any questions, please speak to your child’s class teacher.

Happy WBD from Class 6!

7th March 2024Jayne Rodgers

As some of you will know I LOVE a dress-up day and the children all looked fantastic as we celebrated World Book Day today. A massive thank you to you all for your wonderful costumes for this special event. We have all had such fun drawing our favourite characters to decorate our book area, and reading whilst in costume to move onto the first space on our brand new challenge, Readopoly. Watch this space for more details.

Well done everyone!

Busy first days of the new term in Y1!

20th February 2024Jayne Rodgers

If any of the year 1 children are missing their socks today it’s because they have worked them off in the first couple of days of the new term. We have been trying really hard with our phonics and reading – we had many more books to change today then usual – and are looking forward to sharing this learning with our parents and carers at our special phonics family learning events on Wedneaday for Miss Schon and Miss Rodgers’ groups, and on Thursday for Miss Cooper and Mrs. Clay’s groups.

We have been practising our addition and subtraction to 20 in maths and learning about food chains and the transference of energy in our expedition sessions.

We have also been adding watercolor to our artwork in preperation for our end of term gallery – watch this space for details of this event – and today Mr Kershaw helped us to begin to understand weather patterns!

Let’s hope we have enough energy left for tomorrow’s DISCO!

Year 1: Phonics Family Learning

20th February 2024Carly Schon

Before half term children brought home a letter about our Phonics Family Learning event. We are excited to welcome you to your child’s phonics lesson to give you an insight on how your child learns phonics in school. The event will take place tomorrow and Thursday. Please see the letter below. If you are unsure which phonics group your child is in please check with your child’s class teacher.

Thank You

Y1 family learning

We are artists – we spent a very creative and theraputic afternoon today using a ‘step by step’ method to paint a jelly fish linked to our second case study – the sea. All of the children and their parents and carers produced beautiful artwork which will be included in our art gallery at the end of term.

World Read Aloud Day in Class 6

7th February 2024Jayne Rodgers

How lovely it was this morning to see the children so confidently sharing their favourite books with their parents and carers as part of World Read Aloud day. We finished the morning’s activity with me reading my own favourite book to everyone – The Great Dog Bottom Swap by Peter Bently.

Perhaps the children could read YOU a bedtime story tonight instead of the other way around!
