Reading books and spelling games are available on Bug Club and should be read and played on a regular basis. The books will be allocated weekly to pupils and can be found in Active Learn. Each pupil will be sent home with their individual details and the school code is w77g. When you get there you go to My Stuff and then Phonics. The books for the week can be found there along with games to reinforce particular sounds and spelling patterns. There are also reading games and sound games to be done each week that will help improve confidence and quick sound and word recognition.

Reading books are now coming home weekly. Please try to spend regular time with your child reading and talking about the books they have. Any comments that you wish to make can be written in the yellow book that is also coming home. Please return books on a Monday.

Spelling words are available on Google Classroom each week and are specific to different groups of learners. Passwords and details of how to access Google Classroom are being  sent out. If you misplace these details or have any trouble finding the spellings then please ask for help.

Reception pupils will be thinking about the talents that they have and how they should use them to help others. They will also investigate the local church and some of the services that take place there such as baptism.

Year 1 will be gaining a deeper understanding of truth and forgiveness and their place in Christian belief. They will be looking at images of Jesus in stained glass windows and writing their own poems and prayers.
