Francesca, Heidi, Carter and Libby all worked their socks off today when asked to write a sentence which included some phase 2 tricky words.
Well done guys! I’m so proud of you and your brilliant sentences!

Class 3 went on a treasure hunt to find Little Red Riding Hood’s basket of fruit to launch our new story in literacy. We had such fun following the clues! Little Red even said we could eat her fruit. Thank you Little Red!
The children in Class 3 worked their socks off today in phonics when learning how to read and spell the Phase 2 tricky word ‘the’. Well done to you all! I’m so proud of you!
See if you can spot the word ‘the’ in your reading books.
This week Class 8 are getting themselves ready for the move to year 3. We practised our silent reading today so that we will be ready to do our daily Accelerated Reading session after the summer. It was lovely to see everyone immersed in a book in their own little comfy spot around the classroom.
Hello Parents!
We are working hard at school to develop your child’s handwriting skills. Here are a few simple ways you can help support your child with their handwriting…
1. Practise letter movements
Children get better at producing letters by practising letter movements: big letters on concrete with chalks; little letters in shaving foam; letters in sand, jelly and on paper.
The same is true of joins between letters. If children learn the correct movements for basic joins, they will use them efficiently when writing on paper.
2. Plan handwriting into every day
Try to encourage your child to write something everyday. This could be a shopping list for your weekly shop or writing a story of their own to share with you.
3. Reward all writing
Children need to build confidence in their writing. By rewarding their writing efforts with a simple sticker or tick chart will encourage them to continue writing and build their confidence in their own abilities. We will always give extra house points in school to encourage anything extra your child does at home!
If you would like any support with handwriting or the cursive scheme Green Top follow, please feel free to see me or your child’s class teacher.
Happy writing!

Class 7 made some excellent predictions today for what they thought might happen in the story of ‘Oliver’s Fruit Salad’, Oliver’s Vegetables’ and ‘Oliver’s Milkshake’. The children all thought carefully about what would make a sensible prediction. Well done Class 7 for your awesome collaboration during literacy today.

Class 7,
I hope you are enjoying your Easter break!
Using this to help you with spelling rules, how many suffix words can you think of? Can you put them into a sentence?
Please record your words and sentences in your homework book. There will be a prize the first week back for the child who has written the most words or sentences.
Who can win 40 house points for their team?
You will be awarded with 20 house points if you can find 5 words which end in the suffix ‘es’.
You will then get a further 20 house points if you can put 3 of them into sentences.
Can you include the conjunction ‘and’ and ‘because’?
Can you add a range of punctuation (, ! ? ‘) that you have been taught?
Please record your words and sentences in your homework book. I can’t wait to read them!
