This week in phonics Miss Schön and Miss Rodgers group have been learning /ie/ ‘Tie your tie’.
Ou® new red words or Mr, Mrs, work, can’t and class.
We have been reading the book ‘Let’s Sort it Out’. We have discussed the the vocabulary and the meaning of different words and phrases.
We now know 2 differerent /ie/ sounds
/igh/ as in high, light and bright – We know that the igh sound is only Followed by a ‘t‘
/ie/ as in tie, cries and lied
We have also learned that words can end in il and al make just a ‘l‘ sound at the end of a word
Don’t forget to practice as often as possible so that you can beat your ‘word count per minute’ scores!
Year 1: Phonics Drop In
Thank you to the families that joined us for our Phonics Drop In after school on Thursday. It was really lovely to meet you all. We will run these events throughout the year but in the meantime if you have any questions or concerns we are always happy to help! I was asked if there are nay apps to support phonics learning. The best way you can support phonics learning at home is by practising phonics homework, red words and reading books. This can be done in fun ways using flashcards, letter/word/sound hunts around the home etc. Please see the photographs below for some ideas. There are a couple of websites that have games that support recognition of phonics sounds, word reading and sentence reading, som of the games are free to access. I have also listed these below. We hope you can join us at our next phonics event!

Class 5: America Day
We had a fantastic day on Thursday! We were so lucky to take part in some special activities throughout the day. First we rocked out with Mr Pickles and even became the drummers in his band! Then we enjoyed our American themed lunch. Cooper and Louie even won a prize for finding a special sticker under their tray! At lunchtime we had cheerleading and baseball on the playground and then in the afternoon we had a go at cheerleading with Mrs Raynor! It was so much fun!
Baseball was a hit!
We went down to the ‘ball park’ and it was filled with budding baseball ears trying to hit a home run. What a lovely lunchtime and so full of enthusiasm. Well done Year 1 and 2 for being so sensible and getting into the baseball spirit!
Year 1: Phonics
This week in phonics Miss Schön and Miss Rodgers group have been learning /ou/ ‘Shout it out!’.
We have been reading the book ‘An Outing in the Woods’. We have discussed the the vocabulary and the meaning of different words and phrases.
We now know 2 differerent /ow/ sounds
/ow/ as in cow, brown and town
/ou/ as in out, shout and loud
We have also learned that words can end in el or le and the ‘e’ is silent
We have also learned that when there is a ‘st‘ next to each other the ‘t’ is silent
This was a lot of leaning but the children have been doing so well with this! Keep it up boys and girls and don’t forget to practice as often as possible so that you can beat your ‘word count per minute’ scores!
Class 5: Great Fire of London
Wow what a week we have had in Class 5. Behaviour and learning attitudes have been fantastic! I am so proud of all of the children. This week was our final week in Case Study 1: The Great Fire of London. The children have been so excited about this learning. They have amazed me with all the facts they can recall. They have produced some beautiful pieces of artwork and writing and we have been singing lots of songs!
This week we have been extremely lucky to have an amazing drama workshop as well as recreating how the fire spread with Mr Kershaw! Here are a few photographs showcasing all of our wonderful work – I feel I need to put together a video of highlights to showcase our activities as it really has been so much fun!
Year 1: Phonics Drop In

We would like to invite all parents and carers of Year 1 children to join us to find out more about our school phonics programme, how you child is taught phonics in school and what you can do at home to support your child.
