The children have made a super start to the new term.  This term we are basing most of the children’s learning around ‘The Jolly Postman and Friends’ story.

So far the children have found out about the journey of a letter and have been very busy writing their own.  Every two weeks we focus on a different story from the book.  This week and last week the children have enjoyed a range of activities based around Goldilocks and the Three Bears.  They particularly enjoyed cooking their own porridge!

Next week we will be taking a break from the book and will be finding out about Chinese New Year.  On Friday 31st January we would like all the children to come dressed in something red, as we will have a Class 1 Chinese New Year Day, which will include some Dragon Dancing.

The children will continue to work on segmenting and blending words made by the sounds covered so far.  Children who are not yet secure with the Set 1 sounds, will take part in small focus groups to revisit and practise those sounds.

All the sounds covered and resources can be found here in Class 1 Spelling: https://www.bictonschool.org.uk/read-write-inc-update/

Class 1 visited the school library today, they had fun looking at the books and choosing which one they would like to borrow.  The School library books will have a label inside, these can be returned at anytime (there is a red drop off box outside the library). We will be visiting every week as a class.  You can also pop into the library after school with your child.  The children will still continue to chose a book from the class library, which they can change as often as needed.
