This week we have begun teaching phonics in Reception. The children have been really calm and engaged and produced some lovely letter formation of our first taught sounds. They are such grown up boys and girls now.
Well done everyone!
Grown ups…. Check out the EYFS Extended Study tab on the school website to learn more about phonics and our weekly phonics homework to support your child.
Thanks

What a fantastic start to our year celebrating our first worthy winners. A huge well done to everyone! I wonder who will be our winners next week!
Yesterday, some of last years Crew Councillors went to Thorne Memorial park to see their final boards being displayed. At the end of last school year, the councillors worked with members of Thorne and Moorends Town Council to create some boards to keep the new play area safe. They enjoyed seeing it completed and helping to put them onto the gates.
I’m so proud of all of their hard work last year and I’m looking forward to working with Thorne and Moorends Council with our new Crew Councillors.
We have had a busy week in Nursery exploring and investigating. We have been investigating colours, the marks we can make when drawing and the sand. Another fabulous week in Nursery.

This week in Reception we have started to teach phonics. We will have a daily phonics session and your children will be learning new sounds (Phonemes) and they will be learning how to blend these sounds to read CVC words. On a Friday, your children will receive a phonics homework sheet (as seen below) that will be sent home. This is for you to keep, and to practise the sounds and the green words with your child. This will really help their progress in this area which is really important for them to gain those reading foundations in Reception.
If you have any questions regarding phonics or any other aspect of Reception, do not hesitate to come and speak to a member of the F2 team.

The children loved their session in the hall this morning with Activ8 doing lots of different gross motor skills activities. Can’t wait for next week!
Well done to all of our amazing role models and our first lot of achievers for the first celebration of the year!
Key stage 1 will be taking part in an interactive drama workshop, which will be delivered by an organisation called ‘The Drama Hut’. It will be taking place at school on Thursday 25th September. It won’t affect any of their lunch time.
The workshop will link directly to their expedition work and will help to enhance their knowledge of The Great Fire Of London, as well as being lots of fun!Â
The cost of this workshop works out to be £6 per child. Please make the payment for this on ParentPay before Thursday 25th September.
Thanks again for your support
Mrs Shaw and the key stage 1 team.
This afternoon we have had a great time in arts and craft club creating our own tropical birds linked to our expeditionary learning. Check out some of the fabulous pieces below.
