In KS1 Lunch Club we have been making thank you cards to show gratitude. We had a beautiful lunch club today and it was so lovely talking to the children about who they were making their cards for and seeing their lovely designs!
This week Miss Cooper’s group have been learning /ur/ ‘Purple turtle’.
Miss Rodgers phonics group have been continuing to learn the ‘split digraph’ sounds. This week they have been learning /i-e/ – In a while crocodile. Keep practising those red words ready for our upcoming assessment week!
I have seen some beautiful reading this week. The children’s confidence is growing week on week and it is so lovely to see. The children are also becoming much more confident with their sentence writing. Now we are working to secure our spelling skills. Keep it up – I am so proud of you.
In addition to this the children have also been doing some extra phonics lessons in the afternoons. This week and next week we will be learning the split digraph sounds like Miss Rodger’s and Mrs Clay’s group. So far we have learned /a-e/, /e-e/ and /i-e/. I wonder if you can read words for the sheets below?
Crew Rodgers spent 10 minutes of their crew time this morning working towards their sponsored reading minutes. It was lovely to see how engaged they were with their reading and they loved discussing the stories with each other too. A great start to the week!
This half term Year 1 are very lucky to have an extra PE session every Friday with a specialist PE coach. Please ensure children bring their PE kits on Thursdays AND Fridays for the rest of this term.
Thank you
Take a look at this super-cute account of milk’s journey from the cow to our supermarket by Leo. I’m sure you will agree he has done a fantastic job!
Miss Cooper has been really pleased with her phonics group over the past few weeks. Some of the children blew us away with heir phonics check scores and their accuracy when reading words!
This week the children have been learning /ar/ start the car.
Miss Cooper has been encouraging children to read their reading books at home to show off their super reading skills. Please read with your child as often as possible as reading the same books more than once will really help their confidence and reading fluency. Also please remember to practise your phonics homework sheets and red words!
We had lots of fun last night at our half term disco! There was lots of dancing, a lot of smiling and loads of sweets eaten by the children. Can’t wait for the next one already!
Thanks again to the friends of Green Top as these discos couldn’t happen if it weren’t for you! Thankyou for raising money to support our school to be even better!
