Year 1: Phonics

Year 1 and Year 2 will be holding a family learning session where we invite parents, carers and grandparents into school to support the children with their learning! We will be doing some DT that links to our castle expedition and we think the children will love it! I hope lots of you can make it into school.
Year 1 – Tuesday 15th October 2024 – 1.30pm
Year 2 – Thursday 17th October 2024 – 1.30pm
We had such fun yesterday, listening to Mr Pickles play rock music, as well as having a go at line dancing in the hall with Mrs Rayner. We had a party at lunch time in the hall and still managed to squeeze in maths, expedition, handwriting, spelling and readingβ¦have a fabulous weekend everyone!
Well done to all of our winners this week! It was fabulous listening to how great youβve been this week. A huge well done to Crew Rodgerβs again for having fantastic attendance and being our phase winners this week. I love our assemblies and hope all of the adults enjoy them too. Canβt wait for next week too!
It’s fair to say that baseball was a hit with Year 1 and 2 during our American day. I was so impressed with the skill showed and how accurate their shots were. We practiced our hitting and there were some definite home runs! Well done Year 1 and 2!
This week we have been revisiting the /ure/ sound. The children have been really proud of their reading and sentence writing and their new found confidence is really beginning to show. Keep practising year 1 we are so proud of the progress we are seeing!

On Friday Class 5 celebrated Faith Day. We thought closely about the question βWhat is religion?β. We found out that there are 6 major world religions β Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Sikhi, Judaism and Hinduism. We also discovered that although the teachings of each religion are different, all of them share three basic principles. Faith β that what they believe is true, Hope β that by following the teachings of their religion they can make the world a better place and Love β for their God and each other.
The children really enjoyed collaborating to make a stunning piece of art work which will be displayed in our classroom.
Class 5’s attitude to learning has been awesome! Keep to up everyone. I am very proud of you all.
Our next spellings check will be on Friday 4th October. Please find the spellings below. Why not try practising your spelling using the rainbow spellings techniques? Please see the photographs for some inspiration!
