Key Information

P.E: Tuesday (indoor) and Friday (outdoor)

Reading: We ask that children are heard read at home at least 3 times per week and their reading planner is signed by an adult.  When a child reads three times a week and their planner has been signed, they get to move up within the reading championship!  We ask that reading planners and books are brought in to be changed on Thursdays ready for checking and for books to be swapped. The children also have opportunity to read 3 times a week within our reading practise sessions. During these sessions we work on the skills of decoding, prosody and comprehension.

Phonics

Below are all the sounds that the children are taught by the end of Year 1.

During year 2 we consolidate these within our reading and writing before we start being taught further spelling strategies. The children have daily phonics/spelling sessions within their Year 2 curriculum.

(Please see the Phonics section on this website for links to more information about the Little Wandle phonics programme that we follow).

Class Rewards

Dojo Points: Class Dojo points are awarded to pupils who display our core values of pride, respect, resilience, kindness and ambition.
Rewards Menu: Once a child has achieved 100 Class Dojo points they are free to exchange these for a treat of our 'rewards menu', on display in every classroom!

Star of the Week: One child each week is selected for a special award for demonstrating one of our school values, issued in our weekly Celebration Assembly.
