PHONICS
All children in year 1 will sit a phonics test in June. The aim of this is to check their knowledge of sounds that they have learnt and if they are able to apply them in various words. They will also be tested on sounds, using 'alien' words, these are words that contain a taught sound, within a word that is not a real word. Children will be exposed to alien words throughout the year and will therefore be familiar with them. Below are previous tests that you can use with your children.
General information
PE: FRIDAY
This term, PE will be on TUESDAY - Please ensure your child comes into school wearing their PE kits, with all items being CLEARLY NAMED. Also, please remove any earrings and ensure long hair is tied back.
Reading:
Please read with your child for a minimum of 15 minutes every day and sign/comment in your child's learning journal. Your child should bring their Learning Journal to school everyday, your child's journal will be checked and stamped daily, reading is reward! This is a time for your child to read and show off their reading skills to you.
Spellings:
We will be sending new spellings home every week (these will be recorded in your child's Learning Journal). Please help your child practise their spellings throughout the week to ensure they are ready for their spellings quiz on a Friday. If your child misspells a word from the spelling list in the Friday test, this will be highlighted in your child's journal for you to keep practising at home.
If you would like to contact your class teacher:
Please write a comment in your child's learning journal. These are checked daily and any non-urgent messages will be replied to.
If your message is urgent then please do contact the school office to arrange a return phone call or an appointment.
