Class 3 filming letter

Please see below a copy of the letter which was sent out today to those children for whom we have previously been given consent for their photos to be used in the press and on our public website.

I apologise for the typing error in my original letter! It should have said ‘spead of germs’ not ‘thread of germs.’

Class 1 Update

The children have made a super start to the new term.  This term we are basing most of the children’s learning around ‘The Jolly Postman and Friends’ story.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeTTqQoJ2Gw

So far the children have found out about the journey of a letter and have been very busy writing their own.  Every two weeks we focus on a different story from the book.  This week and last week the children have enjoyed a range of activities based around Goldilocks and the Three Bears.  They particularly enjoyed cooking their own porridge!

The Jolly Postman and Friends Class 1 2020

Next week we will be taking a break from the book and will be finding out about Chinese New Year.  On Friday 31st January we would like all the children to come dressed in something red, as we will have a Class 1 Chinese New Year Day, which will include some Dragon Dancing.

Read Write inc update:

Spring Term 1 2020:

ch      qu    x    ng    nk    ay

The children will continue to work on segmenting and blending words made by the sounds covered so far.  Children who are not yet secure with the Set 1 sounds, will take part in small focus groups to revisit and practise those sounds.

All the sounds covered and resources can be found here in Class 1 Spelling: https://www.bictonschool.org.uk/read-write-inc-update/

Reading Cinema

This afternoon class four were invited to the reading cinema. The children were given a choice of books and used their cinema tickets to vote for ’Jumanji’. Class four enjoyed relaxing and eating their popcorn whilst listening to the story.
