This half term we have been focussing on spelling red words. We will now consolidate our learning by practising spelling all of the red words we have been learning this half term. We have added two new red words ‘little’ and ‘your’ which we have introduced in class during our lessons. I wonder which red words you can remember to spell and which ones you need more practise with?
The children (and staff!) had a fantastic time dancing their socks off at our Autumn disco this evening. There were some amazing costumes and everyone had so much fun. A huge thanks go to our wonderful PTA, Friends of Green Top for organising this, and many other fabulous events that raise so much money for our school. You ladies rock!
Apologies for the somewhat blurry photographs in the slideshow below…it was difficult trying to get the children to stay still for the pictures!
A huge well done to all of our community crew winners this week. You have had a fantastic week, modelling beautiful manners and producing really great work. A huge well done too because our first reading certificate was handed out this week for reading 30 books so far, I can’t wait to see more get handed out! Well done key stage 1! Keep up the great work!
This week in phonics we have been learning the grapheme /ay/ may I play.
We now know three grams that make this sound – /ai/, /ay/ and /a/
The children are beginning to identify which grapheme we need to spell common words.
We have also been continuing to work on our reading fluency and recognition of red words.
Can you read the /ai/ words? Can you spell the words without looking?
Class 5 had a fantastic time building and testing catapults for our family learning activity today. Thank you to all the adults who joined us. I hope you had a fun afternoon in Class 5!
Well done to those who attended our little sports club! We practiced our throwing at lunch today and I can’t believe how many Year 1s and 2s turned up. After half term, we will have other activities as well!
Tomorrow Year 1 will be having an extra PE session. Please can children bring their PE kit to school for this lesson.
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
