Reading Books

Make sure your reading book and yellow card is in school everyday. 

PE

Our PE day is a Monday (spring 1).

The PE curriculum is delivered by Mr Mann who is a PE specialist. 

At the moment we are not getting changed into PE kits due to PE being held outside and we will let you know when to bring one in.

Phonics

We have a big focus on phonics in Year one.

Phonics is delivered twice a day.

A typical phonics session includes;

• recapping previous taught sounds
• teaching a new sound
• practising reading words by segmenting and blending with the new sound
• writing words with the new sound
• reading alien words (nonsense words)
• practising reading and writing a sentence

You can help your child at home by accessing the websites below;

• Phonics play
• Letters and sounds

Christmas Songs

Unfortunately, we couldn’t invite you into school to enjoy a concert this year. However, we have still worked hard to bring you some Christmas cheer. We hope you enjoy our Christmas song videos and have a happy holiday.
