Year 6 are well underway with our learning about World War 2. Be sure to use the knowledge organiser below to help revise the key facts, and to support you with your weekly Learning Across the Curriculum homework.
As part of our ongoing commitment to Black History and Culture, we will be holding our annual Celebration of Black Culture Evening on Nov 8th 2022 at 3:45pm
If you or your child would like to take part, please contact Kamla for more info
This is a very successful and enjoyable evening and we look forward to seeing you there
Come along to a Phonics workshop in the Bottom Hall on Friday 4th November.
I will be explaining how we teach early reading skills through the Little Wandle Phonics Scheme.
You have a choice of times:
9.00 – 9.45 OR 2.15 – 3.00
Look out for an information flier that will come home with your child if they are in Reception, Year 1 or 2.
Please return the slip so I know how many will be attending.
Looking forward to seeing you then.

Phonics Leader and Assistant Headteacher
In Year 2 we have been expanding our vocabulary using adjectives. We read a book and described famous landmarks. Look at our mind maps!
This term in year 1 we will be learning about Ourselves focusing on history, D&T and computing. The children will be coming home talking about their class experiences linking to our learning.
For Maths we will focus on Place Value and Number Bonds. We are going to learn about comparing numbers so please watch the video below with your child.
Science we are learning about Animals Including Humans. We will focus on learning and labelling body parts including our senses. As scientist we will make sure to look at fair testing.
PSHE is Being in my world which links closely to our topic led learning experiences. In RE we cover a variety of different faiths and cultures.
PE is Multi-Skills on a Thursday so the children can come into school with their PE uniform underneath their jumper.
Reading and Phonics – Make sure to read with your child everyday and sign their reading records. Encourage your child to segment (break up) words into their sound parts and blend them (push them back together) to read the whole word. Make it fun – Enjoy reading together. Give characters funny voices and engage with the pictures. Make a game out of finding words that rhyme or start with the same sound. Year-1-reading-with-your-child-parent-advice

Having a Coffee Morning is the perfect chance to catch up over a cuppa and a slice of something delicious for a great cause.
One in two of us will face cancer, and the money you raise at the Coffee Morning will be donated to help everyone with cancer to live life as fully as they can.
UPDATE: We raised £82.72 for this cause – thank you to all who contributed
Dear Parents / Carers,
The children are settling in well and are getting used to our daily routines.
We had our first Little Wandle Phonics session today! Please practise the weekly sounds and have a look at the attached pronunciation guide. In addition to this, please remember to read with your child every day and use the reading diaries to write any comments.
In maths, we are focusing on numbers 1-10 and are singing counting rhymes like ‘Five Currant Buns’
Please see the attached Meet the Teacher PowerPoint from the other week and if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to speak to us!

Many children often need help with calming down from strong emotions. When children need help to calm down, help them to notice the emotion, name it, and pause. Once they have calmed down, you can address their behaviour or problem-solve. Learning to calm down is an important part of learning to understand and manage emotions.
These useful prompts, can help to support a child to regulate their emotions.
