It's a cracker!

This week we will be sending home information about what your child will need and if they have a short line to learn. Each child has a part within the play and may get to speak, act out a role, dance or play a musical instrument. We have tried to ensure that these parts suit your child's abilities and confidence levels at the same time as ensuring that all 63 children are involved so we would appreciate your help and support.
The production will take place once on Tuesday 16th December at 10am in the hall.

Help! I need somebody


We have had a lovely week of visitors which we hope that your children have told you about! On Monday PC Peatfield came to talk to the children about his role and show them some pieces of uniform and photographs of the different police vehicles. On Thursday we had the Fire Brigade and an engine visit school and they explained their wider roles and showed us lots of their equipment. Later this week we will be having a visitor from the local doctor's surgery.

Phonics week 4







We are amazed at how well your children have learnt our letters and their sounds but will now be using the weeks up to the Christmas break for reinforcing our sounds so far and lots of practice in segmenting and blending sounds. This will be a chance for us to assess and for everybody to practice and improve their skills.




Last week's phonics - I apologise for the delay but I had a poorly computer! We also looked at "ck" being a digraph for the same sound as "c" and "k".

Word Wizards


Just a quick reminder that the purpose of the word wizards is for you to help your child recognise the words on sight. Please do not worry about colouring them in as we will deal with that side of things!

Phonics Week 2







Well didn't we just go for it this week - 3 sounds and 4 letters! We also looked at the word "to" as a tricky word.
