Things that help us learn

We have established the use of Google Classroom as our online learning platform in Key Stage 1.

 

We follow Little Wandle as our phonics programme. A reading book (Big Cat for Little Wandle) is sent home on a weekly basis which will be pitched at your child’s current phonic ability and at a level they can decode and comprehend at a 95% accuracy.

 

They will also take home a reading for pleasure book, which they will select from the school library.

 

Weekly spellings are sent home to consolidate the phonetic sounds the children have been learning that week.

Take a look at our curriculum webs to view what the children will be learning throughout the year.

 

Trips 

This year we will be organising some exciting school based enhancement activities. Our first trip of the year will be to the Milestones museum on Tuesday 26th September.
