- Children will change for their PE sessions so please continue to ensure that children’s PE kits are in school on their pegs. They need a white T-shirt, black shorts and a change of shoes, pumps or trainers. All the classes had their first ‘changing times’ last week. Thank you for supporting and preparing your children for this. It is an important part of their learning and promotion of independence to change unsupported.
- 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.

Phonics: New Phase Teaching – Phase 5
Phonics /spelling Daily (5x sessions)
We will give out new Sounds and Keyword books which the children will write this week’s sounds and keywords. These maybe differentiated where necessary
Keywords: Read by sight and spell: Oh their Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday
Phonics: ay (play) ou (out ) ie (pie) ea (heap) – New Graphemes
Vocabulary: adjective, phoneme, sounds, blend, letter name, word, sentence, full stop
Writing:
Fireworks – Sounds we hear when fireworks go off and fires are lit. Use phonemes learnt and graphemes to create a word bank. Use the words from the word bank and adjectives collected in the previous sessions to create a simple acrostic Poem.
Firework Safety- Linked to PSHE – Create a poster for being safe with fireworks. Think about ourselves and pets. Research different poster styles first. What will make such an important message stand out to the reader?
Children to write their week’s learning – Sounds and Keywords in their new books that they can take home and use to write in to practice spellings. Children need to be able to read the word first before practicing spelling them.
Handwriting: Correct formation of the graphemes and CEW for spelling listed above through the use of our 4 formation families. Complete a dictated sentence.
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, continue to continue on phonic and CEW recognition gaps identified in assessments from Term 1.
Whole Class – Planned story sessions each day.
