1/2K OLC

Good afternoon parents, I hope you have had a great weekend break.  We have continued to be busy little bees in the 1/2K team! Just a few reminders as we head towards the last week of school for the term. Homework Homework has been glued into your child's homework if they brought their book in previous Friday and the two week cycle will be due on the last day of Term. We will continue with this system next term.  If you would like to bring it in earlier if you are taking an early holiday break, please feel free to do so. We will continue to be focusing on the 'er' sound in spelling and phonics and looking at the common graphemes we use in English to spell these sounds - er, ir and ur (and this week we learnt that sometimes we use the letters 'or' when next to a w like in work and word to show the 'er' sound).  We would really appreciate if you continue to read out the list out loud to your child (in varying order) and have them practise writing their...

Good evening parents, Week 7 is coming towards a close...! We are almost back to normality with parents now being allowed into the school grounds! Yay!  While you are not yet able to come into the classroom please feel free to email me with any questions you may have or anything you would like us to know about.  I will try to take a few more photos of our class displayed work tomorrow for next week's blog to share some of the amazing work we have been doing in the 1/2K team now that we are all back together.  We are so proud of how well the students have come back ready to learn and focused on their learning goals. We are also proud of the way the children have come into school and settled themselves in in the mornings, it has been an absolute credit to you all. They blow me away everyday with their growing independence and this has definitely taken a step up! Here is some photos of our busy paper glyph sculptures - this is our introduction to computer coding and comb...

Good evening parents, I hope you had a lovely long weekend and managed to stay safe (away from the crowds in town!). Just a few messages for this week: Homework Homework (including the homework book) is  due tomorrow Friday the 5th of June . If you could please ensure your child brings this with them on Friday this week as it makes gluing in the next fortnight's set easier. We ask that you focus on the daily/nightly tasks on the top line if you have lots of commitments and limited time to complete all of the grid.  This week we are introducing their spelling words as a task and ask that you read out the words and encourage your child to practise writing their words on some scrap paper in varied order most nights.  These spelling words are our focus phonic sound in class and are studied for a fortnight at a time.
