Spring 1
These photos show just a few of the fun things we have been up to this half term: our field work trips for geography around our school grounds and local area, showing off that we were 'Star class of the day' twice in drama sessions with KPA, lots of making and then writing up of the instructions in literacy, our super star talent show semi-finalists, lots of practical maths, our trip to Droylsden library, bench ball action shots and our visit from Leela the bearded dragon as we have been classifying animals in science and were particularly interested in reptiles.
Autumn 2 - just a few photos from our very busy half term :)
Here are just a few photos of our very busy half term. These pictures show us being designers like God in RE, reading in pairs, trying on a real fire helmet during our Great Fire of London topic, Pudsey bear visiting, Mojo Dojo winners, putting up our x-mas tree, JJ from Cocomelon visiting, our cheeky elves getting up to no good in our classroom, enjoying our Santa Stroll around the local area and school, our brilliant nativity, learning about proper nouns and naming teddies that we got to take home and enjoying phonics activities.

Important Information
Reading books - Please send reading books in on a Monday to be changed. They will go home for the week on a Tuesday. Please write a comment in your child's reading journal each week to let us know how they are progressing at home. The children will also be sent home with a library book that they have chosen.
Spellings Tests- Spelling tests are on a Friday afternoon. The children are assessed at the start of each half term and are provided with 6 weeks worth of spellings to revise. The children will bring home their test to show you how they have done. Tests will be done on our handwriting paper and when marked, may have specific letters highlighted to work on at home.
PE day - This is on a Tuesday afternoon. Children need an indoor and outdoor kit. Please ensure all items of PE kits are labelled with your child's name. These will remain in school until the end of each term.

Phonics
We are following the Twinkl phonics scheme. Children receive daily, small group, phonic lessons with either a teacher or teaching assistant. Staff are rotated between the groups throughout the year to ensure all children receive quality first teaching. The groups are fluid and children can move groups according to how they are performing in lessons.
