Class 7 – Castle research!

Class 7 have been learning about the different types of castles and worked hard researching facts about them. We learned about Motte & Bailey castles, stone keep castles and, finally, concentric castles! Well done on such super knowledge, Class 7!

Have a great weekend, Class 7! 🙂

Crew Wallace Phonics

This week we have been practising writing our graphemes in lots of different ways. We are building up our skills and I have been really impressed with the quality of the children’s writing.

Well done everyone

Reception Phonics this week

This week the children have been practicing hearing their first set of phonemes in words s/a/t/p, fast blending the phonemes to say words and at breaking down the phonemes in a word! We have been writing the grapheme in lots of different ways to become more confident and remember how to form the graphemes correctly!

The children will receive a homework sheet every Friday (starting today) to practise and consolidate the sounds that we have covered that week. It would be really helpful to aid your child’s progress to practise these phonemes with them daily to ensure that they can retain those sounds.

If you are unsure about phonics or some of the phonics vocabulary that we use with the children we will be holding a Phonics Family Learning session on Wednesday 25th September from 2-3. This session will explain what our phonics sessions look like, the vocabulary used and what you can do to support your child.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask a member of the F2 team.

Mrs Wallace and Mrs Jones.
