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!
Miss Rodgers phonics group have begun learning the split digraph sounds. This week they have been learning about split digraph e-e. The children have been continuing to develop their reading fluency but some of the children have been struggling with recalling the red words they have learned so far. Please practise your phonics sheets and red word sets 1-4 at home as often as possible please as this will really help your child’s reading fluency in our next set of assessments.
This week we have been learning /ea/ ‘Time for tea. We have been learning to read and spell words containing our three known /ee/ graphemes. We know that some words only use one ‘e’ for /ee/ and some use ‘ee’ or ‘ea’.
I have been really impressed with he children’s effort and enthusiasm and I can tell the children have been practising their red words and reading books at home! I have heard some super reading over the past few weeks! This week we have been working on our accuracy and checking that we look carefully and words to ensure we read them correctly.
We now have a new ‘fun phonics’ session in an afternoon where we have also been learning about split digraphs. Yesterday we learned about split digraph /a-e/ like in the words cake, bake, sale, take, snake. The children loved learning about split digraphs!
Please remember to send reading books back every Friday so that I can change the children’s shared reading books in our phonics session.
Thank You
We had lots of fun last night at our half term disco! There was lots of dancing, a lot of smiling and loads of sweets eaten by the children. Can’t wait for the next one already!
Thanks again to the friends of Green Top as these discos couldn’t happen if it weren’t for you! Thankyou for raising money to support our school to be even better!
What a fabulous community crew assembly we have had! Our stewards, HOWL point winners, numbots heroes, tt rockstar champs and reading book winners have all been celebrated!
A huge special mention for our Crew Champions this week too, it was lovely to hear all of the reasons why you won this week. You look so smart in your lanyard and badge!
Also, well done to Crew Schon for being our attendance winners this week! Well done and keep it up!
Crew Schon were absolutely thrilled to finally win the weekly attendance last week. We now have some money in our new kitty! We also received Paddington in assembly this afternoon and he will be living in our Crew room until our next Community Crew Assembly. One more day this week – I wonder if we can be winners again?
