Superstar home learners

. . . 

We really enjoyed our first football session with Dom the football coach. . . 

In Science with Mrs Davis we are learning about the sun. We used torches and balls to help us in our learning . . .

This Week

This week we have started out new topic ‘To the rescue’. In English we have been writing sentences about sea rescues using connectives. In Maths we have been revisiting place value and counting on in tens from any two digit number. In History this week we have discussed the differences between sea rescue in the past and in the present.

Phonics

This week we have revisited ‘a-e’, ‘i-e’, ‘e-e’ and ‘o-e’. Next week we will be revisiting ‘u-e’ and the alternative pronunciations for ‘a’, ‘e’, and ‘i’.

Home learning

This week we have started our new topic ‘to the rescue’. For home learning this week I would like the children to write about an Emergency service. Who are our Emergency services and how do they help us? For an extra challenge why not find out about Grace Darling.

Support tips:

• Talk to your child about what they would like to write about.
• Encourage your child to sound out what they would like to write.
• Ask your child to read their writing through to check it makes sense.

Phonics workshop

A Phonics workshop will be taking place on Monday the 25^th January after school in the school hall. Please come along to find out how to support your child with their Phonics. In June St Piran Class will be taking their Phonics screening check. The check involves the children segmenting and blending a mixture of real words and pseudo words (alien words, silly words or non-words) to check that they are at the expected level. Children who do not pass the Phonics Screening check will be expected to retake the check in year 2.

Football coach

On Friday mornings our class will be taking part in additional football sessions run by a Football Association qualified coach. Children will need their PE kits in school on Mondays, Wednesdays and also Friday mornings.

Clubs

After school and lunchtime clubs begin next week. Please make sure your child knows which clubs they attend and we will also remind children. Please let us know if they are not attending the club on a particular day.

Many thanks
