Reminder that Year 1 have extra PE this half term on Fridays with our PE coach. Please can all children bring a suitable outdoor PE kit – tracksuit and trainers/something suitable for the weather. If the weather is not suitable PE will take place indoors instead.
Thank You
Please remember to bring all reading books back to school tomorrow. We use these as part of our lessons throughout the day so it is important that all children have their books with them.
We have had lots of fun today celebrating World Book Day. The children looked amazing! The children also had a secret vote for their favourite costumes. Well done to our Top 4 favourites – The White Rabbit (Bella), Mary Poppins (Hero), Harry Potter (Luther) and Charizard (Logan). You all looked absolutely amazing.
Here are the last 2 weeks community crew celebrations! We love these assemblies where we get to share so many great things about the children in year 1 and 2. Well done to all of you!
Crew Schön have been awesome at discussing internet safety this morning in crew.
This afternoon, Year 1 students had an exciting XP Outdoor session as they learned the skill of fire lighting using flint and steel!
We discovered how sparks are made by striking flint against steel. With patience, focus, and plenty of determination, they practiced creating tiny sparks—watching in amazement as they ignited cotton wool to start a very small fire.
Not only was it fun but also a fantastic way to learn about fire safety, resilience, and the behind the scenes of fire making. The children worked together, encouraging each other and celebrating every successful spark. Well Done Year 1!!!
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!
