Models of Beegu

We will post photos of other models next week once the eyes have been added! They look fabulous so far!

Remember: School closed to Pupils Monday 26th September 2022 – INSET day

Noticeboard

• We have now confirmed our first school trip for Year 1! We will be  visiting Westonbirt Arboretum on Tuesday, October 11th. Sorry that it is fairly short notice. We were waiting for confirmation from coach companies. We have sent out details, permission forms and payment details via our school COMMS. There may have been a problem with this role out and so we will chase up on Monday. We will need some parent helpers. Details of showing your availability were also on that communication. Your class teacher will let you know if you are needed this time, nearer the time. 
• We will also be walking down to St Peters’ church for a visit as part of our R+WV curriculum on Wednesday, 20th October  This is a local visit so permission is already covered but again, we will ask for parent volunteers to help us walk in our class groups to the church. Class teachers will email you to let you know the time of their class and the times you would need to commit to if you can help.
• You will find below a grid showing the sessions to be taught each week. They do not exactly follow days as each class has different sessions due to support and PE times being different but it allows you to see the week as a snapshot of sessions..  

We will always aim to get outside, whatever the weather, as much as possible so children will really need a waterproof coat each day.

Reading:

• Read as part of a group. Look at front cover details and explore making predictions, using phonetic knowledge to decode unknown words and to extend vocabulary. Read aloud and look at increasing fluency and use discussion as a group to discuss comprehension.

In reading groups, start by concentrating on phonic recognition gaps identified in assessments.

Whole Class. Share stories each day. This promotes their listening skills and extends their vocabulary and understanding of language. Time also to discuss characters and adjectives to help stimulate their learning.
