Year 1 Reading

Good afternoon,

The children in Year 1 have been working really hard so far this half term. All the children are participating in their RWI reading groups each day. We would just like to remind parents that the expectation in Year 1 is a minimum of 3 reads a week and is really important to be reading their coloured RWI books. In particular we encourage them to read their coloured RWI Book Bag book 3 times a week. Reading these regularly supports the children to become more fluent with their specific set sounds they are working on which link to the books they are reading in class.

Please remember to write their reads in the reading diaries as these are checked daily and additional questions are added for children to discuss with you at home.

Thank you

Year 1 team :)

Curriculum Governor Involvement

The Curriculum Governors met yesterday and put a spotlight on the curriculum areas of RE and Relationships and Sex Education (RSE). Children came to share their knowledge and understanding of RE and did a fabulous job. Governors have confidence that the new guidelines for RSE are on track to be implemented over this year. Governors went on a tour of our Nursery provision and were super impressed with the engagement of our youngest learners. Nursery environments look amazing and staff are clearly working tirelessly to ensure that the children gain the strongest of foundations before they move into school.

Year 4 Ancient Egypt Day

Year 4 had a fantastic day learning about Ancient Egypt today. We played traditional games, learnt how to write our names in hieroglyphs using reed pens and found out how to mummify bodies! We also took a trip down the Nile and visited tombs using VR headsets.  VR headset session
