✨Head of School Review of the Week ✨
It has been another busy and productive week across the school, full of learning, effort and wonderful achievements.
In EYFS, children have been fully immersed in the story of The Gingerbread Man, bringing the tale to life through discussion, role play and writing. They have also been using Fred spelling to sound out words and write simple CVC words, showing fantastic early phonics skills and growing confidence in their writing.
A special shout out goes to Olivia and Emma in Sycamore Class for sharing their fantastic independent writing this week. Your hard work, creativity and pride in your learning have really stood out — well done!
In Year 1, pupils have been working extremely hard in phonics, practising reading words that include Set 3 sounds. By Easter, children are expected to know all 75 sounds, so continued practice at home is essential. Please keep supporting your child by practising sound gaps, reading at least three times a week, and recording reading in their reading record — this makes a huge difference to their progress.
A special well done to Freddie and Shyam in Ash Class, who have read all of their sounds this week — an excellent achievement and something to be very proud of!
In Year 2, children have been working hard on spelling Year 2 Common Exception Words, practising and carefully checking these in their writing this week. Please continue to support this at home in fun and creative ways — such as writing spellings around the house, popping them on the fridge, or even holding a family spelling bee!
Thank you to our children, staff and families for another week of enthusiasm, commitment and support. We are so proud of the progress being made across the school.
