Well done to Thea, Ezra, Nathaniel, Junior, Deacon, Radu and Savannah from class 6 who all scored 100% in their phonics touchdown and spelling test on Friday. I hope you enjoyed your treat. Thanks to parents too for helping them to practise.
We have lots of wonderful children to celebrate today in KS1. What a wonderful bunch! We have lots of Work Hard, Get Smart and Be Kind champions, lots of HOWLs given this week and some awesome readers too!
Big shout out to Crew Clay for getting 100% attendance this week too! Mrs Clay’s crew have won the attendance money and are saving up for something special! Don’t forget, the crew with the best attendance each week win REAL MONEY that your crew can save to spend on something awesome.
Keep up it year 1 and 2, you are superstars!
From all of us in KS1 x
A huge well done to Kalab for winning our postcard today. His attitude to learning and focus on his tasks made him an easy choice for Crew Rodgers’ award. Keep up the good work sunshine!
I was blown away by the children’s resilience in today’s maths session. We often talk about how if we find something tricky we know we are learning, and we certainly knew that while working on our additions this morning. We used lots of different strategies to complete our tasks and I was massively impressed with how some of us drew on our learning from our place value unit to represent and solve the equations.
Keep up the good work x
We had great fun today using our ‘agree/disagree’ placards for our geographical research. We read statements about the poles, equator and tilt of the earth and how this affects the climate and then the children had to indicate whether they agreed or disagreed with the statements.
I was so impressed with how the children used their phonic learning to decode some tricky words. Well done everyone.
Our postcards today went to Thea from Crew O’Neill for her fabulous home learning and to Bobby from Crew Rodgers for marvellous effort in both expedition and maths. Well done superstars.
Well done to Adam who won our learning legend postcard today for sharing his amazing knowledge of our world’s oceans and to Savannah, who brought in her medal from dance competitions she took part in over the holidays.
Great job both of you.
We have been learning all about the 5 oceans which cover 70% of our earth today. We can now name the oceans, order them according to size and tell you lots of facts about each one. Why not ask your child to tell you which ocean is the largest or smallest? Or visit our expedition website to listen to a song about the oceans or continents?

The children in class 6 had a fantastic afternoon creating 3D tile sculptures of sea creatures to make a corridor display. They have left them to dry before painting them next week. I cannot wait to see the finished pieces. Well done everyone x
The children have now been grouped for phonics based on their recent assessments and they will be working on sounds matched to their individual needs. These groups will be closely monitored and the children moved up as soon as they master the level they are at currently. If your child is to be part of one of these phonics groups they will have come home this evening with a postcard which indicates their group – pink, red or blue – and I will post their weekly phonic sound focus and spellings on the blog and on Classroom for them to practise for a touchdown activity at the end of each week. If you have any questions please do get in touch.
PINK – Phonics sounds – i as in pin, n as in nap, m as in map, d as in din
Spellings – the, was, pit, tip, nap, tin, mat, dim, sad, Sid
RED – Phonics sounds – sh as in ship, th as in thin and that, ng as in sing
Spellings – the, was, ship, brush, that, thin, rang, bring, thing, with
