Firstly, thank you for to all those parents who
came to the informal parent information session Monday morning. Those that
couldn’t make it should have received a personalised note from me relating to
phonics as well as information related to the phonics screening in their
child’s book bag. Please do not hesitate to discuss phonics with me over the
coming weeks.
Also here is the link I spoke about: http://www.phonicsplay.co.uk/Phase5Menu.htm
This week in Literacy we are writing poetry and
concentrating particularly on alliteration. Please encourage your child to explore
poetry at home and remember they can always bring some in to share with the
rest of the class. I sent home spellings on Monday, so please keep practising
those at home. Group 1 received alien words this week, not to learn to spell,
but to encourage them to practise for phonics screening – especially to segment
and blend words.
In Maths this week, we are recapping time and
concentrating on counting in 2s, 5s and 10s. We will be doing lots of active
activities to consolidate this learning. For example, to encourage counting in
2s your child will be pairing up socks and to count in 5s and 10s your child
with be printing their hand print and counting together as a group.
On Monday we had a wonderful Forest School session
(even with a little rain)! Some of the children made clay sculptures, please go
and have a look at them, they are located at the back of the classroom by the
Forest School display.
Yesterday we received a visit from Super Sports a
company who promotes fitness and sport in schools. This week your child will receive
a sponsor form related to completing a series of exercises on Thursday 25th
May. The whole school will also be visited by Grant Fielder a world champion mountain
biker! All the children will have a photograph taken with him and if they bring
in a special book they can get his autograph as well!
