Class 5: Super Handwriting

24th June 2025Carly Schon

In Class 5 we have been focussing on improving the presentation of our work. We have been thinking a lot about our handwriting and if we are forming letters correctly, writing on the lines, keeping our letters a consistent size and using ascenders and descenders. Each day I have been choosing children to receive a postcard for improvements in their handwriting. Today it was just too hard to choose so we have 9 handwriting champions with many more children who are right behind them! I wonder who will receive our handwriting postcards tomorrow?

Congratulations to all of our winners today! It was so hot in assembly but you sat beautifully and sang amazingly! We had stewardship winners, howl point winners, healthy eating superstars, maths certificates and reading certificates too. On top of that I need to say congratulations to Crew Schon for a fantastic win again for the weekly attendance…you are all doing so well!

A huge well done to my football superstars at Club Thorne who won their tournament and came away with a superb trophy! Well done guys x

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.

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.
