KS1 Phonics

18th June 2025Carly Schon

The children have been working super hard in phonics over the past few weeks both with their normal lessons and with their phonics screening checks. It has been lovely to see all the progress made so far this year.

In Miss Cooper’s group the children have been consolidating the newest sounds they have learned. We have seen some super skills being shown in their word reading!

In Miss Rodgers and Mrs Clay’s group the children have been learning alternative pronunciation and spellings for graphemes. The children have been learning to check words carefully to ensure they have read them correctly now that they know a variety of different phonemes and graphemes.

In Miss Schon’s group the children have really been impressing me with the range of graphemes they can spot in words and also the alternative sounds the grapheme’s can make. The speed in which they have been working in both reading and spelling has improved greatly. It has been lovely to hear the children reading so much more confidently in their Shared Reading sessions this week.

Class 6 Sporting Shout Out

12th June 2025Jayne Rodgers

A huge congratulations to all my little athletes today who showed courage, determination, respect and kindness at our sports afternoon. They cheered each other on and celebrated their successes together and I couldn’t be more proud of each and every one of them.

Well done to you all!

****Key stage 1 sports day****

5th June 2025Aime Shaw

We are so sorry to announce that we have had to postpone our year 1 and 2 sports day this afternoon due to the wet weather. We really didn’t want to do this and can only apologise for any inconvenience caused but we feel that the field is too wet and we are solely thinking of the children’s safety.

We will let you know the new date ASAP. Thank you for understanding. Key stage 1 team.

Year 1: PE Kits Wednesday

4th June 2025Carly Schon

If the weather is good to us today we will be practising for our Sports Day events. Please can children bring an outdoor PE kit and trainers to school. We will make sure to send these home at the end of the day ready for children to come to school in their PE kits on Thursday.

Crew Rodgers Magic Maths Shout Out!

3rd June 2025Jayne Rodgers

Yet another super-proud teacher moment in Crew Rodgers this morning as we marked our weekly Magic Maths quiz. The test comprises of five addition and three 10 times table equations which need to be completed within 30 seconds to help improve the speed of the children’s calculation skills. Although our Crew has made massive improvements to our results since we began the tests last September we have never had everyone achieving perfect scores…until today that is!

As we marked each equation together the excitement built and built as we realised we were all getting every answer correct and after the final answer was announced the room erupted. The children were jumping around hugging each other and one little boy was heard to say, “Its just like Christmas!”

I couldn’t be prouder of my little maths wizards and the way they celebrated their achievements with their Crew mates!

Reading Books in Y1

22nd May 2025Jayne Rodgers

Just a reminder to send in ALL your child’s school reading books tomorrow to ensure they have them changed for the half term holidays. This is especially important this week as the children will not be having their daily phonics and shared reading sessions in school.

Many thanks

Miss Rodgers and Miss Schon
