Read Write Inc – phonics

Today the children in Class 1 began the Read Write Inc phonics program.  We started with the letter ‘m’.

The children practised say mmmm (pressing lips together hard).  To help remember the sound and practise writing it we say ‘Maisie, mountain, mountain.’

First day at school fun

Class 1 Summer Assembly

Citizen Vote

Children in Class 1, had to take part in a vote today.  We had a good discussion about what a good Citizen of Class 1 might be like.

The children took the role very seriously and made sure that their votes were secret.

Tomorrow we will find out out who they have chosen.

Transition Day

We had a lovely day for transition day yesterday! Class 1 had lots of fun and were brilliantly behaved. I have included photos from yesterday afternoon to show the children on a ‘rainbow treasure hunt’.

They have been given a piece of homework to complete over the Summer holidays. I have asked the children to fill an envelope with holiday memories, this could include photographs, pictures, postcards, etc. We will share these with our friends in September.

I hope you have a lovely Summer holiday and I look forward to seeing the children in September!

Kind regards

Miss Edwards

Celebration Assembly: Thursday 20th July

The children are all looking forward to sharing some of the songs we have been learning this term with you.

This time we would like the children to come to school ready to perform.  The boys will need to wear  either a yellow or black top (or both) with dark bottoms.  For the girls we would like to see gold and green and/or colourful clothing.

I won’t give anymore away.

We look forward to seeing lots of you next week.

Green fingers

Just before half term, Class 1 planted out broad beans, radishes, potatoes carrots and lettuce.  The children were very excited to see that they have all been growing.  We asked Sue in the kitchen if she could use some of our produce for school dinners.  Today some of us had salad with the lettuce picked from our garden patch – Yum!
