Class 5 have been working on their art in the style of Dennis Wojtkiewicz. They have been really enjoying learning the skills of line, shape, colour, texture and pattern. Look at these beautiful pastel pictures they have produced! What a lovely example of quality and craftsmanship! I am so proud of you all and I can’t wait to display them in our classroom!
We have created pictures of limes, kiwis, red onions, watermelons, oranges and strawberries!
Tomorrow is Friday – reading celebration day! Please remember to return all reading books to school. The children will be reading their books during our morning activity and then they will take their books to their phonics group for their phonics teacher to change their shared reading books. Children who return their class library books will also get the opportunity to browse through the class library and choose a new book to enjoy!
Here is Class 5 completing their reading during their morning activity last week:
We can’t wait to celebrate the wonderful reading you have been doing in school tomorrow. A big thank you to all parents for being on board with our new home reading strategy! We hope you are enjoying sharing the books with your children at home and that they are impressing you with their reading skills.
Next week (3rd Feb – 7th Feb) is National Storytelling Week and we are going to combine it with Maths Week!
Please join us for our coffee afternoon on Friday 7th February 2pm – 3pm to enjoy sharing stories (especially maths relates ones) with your children!
If you would like to attend, please book your place using the Google Form below.
We look forward to you joining us!
Well done to all our winners in this weeks community crew!
Miss Coopers phonics group have been focussing on the /igh/ grapheme this week. Don’t forget to read your Shared Reading books to your grown ups at home and practise your phonics homework sheet.
Miss Rodgers and Mrs Clay’s group have learned the /aw/ sound this week. I wonder if your grown ups will be impressed when you read your shared reading book to them? Is your reading fluency improving?
Over the past couple of weeks we have been focussing on our knowledge of red words and our reading fluency. I have seen lots of progress and some amazing learning attitudes from the children. It is important that children now practise their phonics homework and reading books so that they can secure their learning.
These are the red words we will be securing over the next week:
These are the sounds we need to secure:

All reading books need to be returned to school tomorrow as school is shut on Friday this week. It is important that all books are returned as the children will be using them throughout the school day tomorrow. Children will be reading their reading books during our morning activity, changing their Shared Reading books in their phonics lesson and celebrating their progress this week in their classes. Children will also receive their new phonics homework to add to their book pack. Please ensure your child has a suitable bag to keep their books safe throughout the day.
If you have not yet read the letter outlining the way we are changing books in school then please make this a priority as we need all parents to sign the form regarding reading books.
Thank you,
KS1 team
