Home Learning

Reception and Year 1 children will bring home weekly phonics home learning sheets. Please try to practice the sounds and tricky words as frequently as you are able. We are a 'Little Wandle' phonics and reading school. The link will take you to the parent area of their website. There are lots of useful resources there.

Year 2 will bring spelling lists and practice sheets, again please support your child to practice as often as possible. 

All children will bring a reading book home each week. Please record each read in the reading journal. It is a useful way to share your child's reading with staff and, of course, each read is logged and counts towards one of our super reading leaves. 

Library books will be issued on a Thursday. Please return your book if you would like to borrow a new book. Please look after our books, we are very lucky to have such a wonderful library. 

PE

PE days are Wednesday. We are lucky to be able to offer our children a forest school session. This will be on a Thursday and when it is Apollo Class's turn, we will notify you well in advance. 

Children need to come in to school wearing their kit. Please make sure they have suitable clothes for the weather as the majority of PE will take place outside. 

Autumn term is a time of new beginnings. Our new Reception children have begun to settle into our school routines and our Year 1 and 2 children have taken up the responsibility for providing good role models. 

We have enjoyed a 'monster' start to our new school year. The Reception children have listened to the adventures of 'The Colour Monster' as they talked about the different emotions when starting school. The Year 1 and 2 children's focus book is 'Not Now Bernard!' 

Not Now Bernard!

We have already written our own poems and stories. Apparently, Mr Aylmer witnessed a cheeky monster throwing loo roll all over our outdoor area! We need to interview Mr Aylmer and then check for any other local monster activity to report upon. 

In Maths, Year 1 and 2 have learning more about place value, addition and subtraction. The Reception children have been learning about the composition of number. The three bears helped us to learn more about number three and ordering objects by size.

 The bears returned to help us all during Science. The rainy weather meant that the bears needed a cosy shelter. We are learning about the properties of materials and everyone helped to choose the best materials to build a waterproof shelter. Our next challenge is to make an umbrella for the bears.  

We have also been busy in the kitchen. Everyone made delicious Diwali sweets in RE. Reception and Year 1 will be helping the Little Red Hen to follow a recipe and make some tasty bread rolls. 

Everyone enjoyed our recent Geography walk to discover more about our local area. There are lots of important landmarks in Scole village and we were able to use maps and keys to represent our village. 

What a busy start to our new school year! See below for more details of our long term planning. 

Reminders

Water bottles, containing water only, are to be sent into school each day.

Please ensure that your child brings a waterproof coat each day.

It would be most appreciated if you could label all of your child's belongings. 

Your children will be offered fruit and vegetables each day. If you choose to send in a snack, please could you check that these are healthy snacks.
