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!
For the next few weeks we will be consolidating our red words spellings. By this point we would like children to be spelling most of the words from sets 1-3 accurately. For the next few weeks can you practise each set at home and see how many spellings you can remember? Which ones do you need to practise? Each child will be different, work a the set that matches your child’s own ability. Once one step is mastered move on to the next step (or line) of spellings. I wonder how many you will know by the end of this half term?
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?
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
Yesterday Class 5 enjoyed a story read by Phoebe! Phoebe chose a book to bring to school to read to the class. She did a super job! Thank you Phoebe.
Look at these superstars who have been busy outside of school over the past few weeks! Bella was Star of the Week in her dancing class, Hero won 3 medals and then was awarded a trophy for being the runner up in her age group at her local dance competitions and Mavis has taken a promise at her local church group.
I am very proud of you all. Thank you for telling me and Class 5 all about what you did to earn your special achievements!
Crew Schon were thrilled to achieve 100% attendance for the first time this year! We have been working hard to earn some money in our crew kitty and we did it two weeks in a row! We now have £10 in our crew kitty and we can’t wait to spend it at Mrs Fitzpatricks trolley at the end of the term. We are hoping to collect even more money before then! Well done Crew Schon, I know how excited you have all been about this and now we get to have Paddington Bear in our classroom as a reward. Paddington loves watching what we do every day in our class.
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!
