With Jesus in our Hearts, we have:
The passion to learn,
The courage to fail,
The strength to love
Our Teachers are Mrs Grier (Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday) and Mrs Gregson (Thursday and Friday) Seacole’s Learning Support Assistant is Miss Ryan. Mrs Gould (mornings) and Mrs Buttigieg (afternoons) are our Special Needs Learning Support Assistants.
We have a fun packed curriculum for the spring term. We will start with a History unit all about a significant historical local – Samuel Cody. In Geography, we will be learning about Cove Brook River. We will meet some dedicated volunteers who are experts about the river.
Class reading time is a very important part of our day. This term we will explore stories and poems from Michael Rosen.
Please ensure zippy wallets come into school with the children every day.
Monday – Spelling test and book changing day (reading practice book and reading for pleasure book)
Wednesday – PE day (All children come into school in their PE kits) If the weather is cold please send in school jumper or cardigan to wear and tracksuit bottoms rather than shorts.
Wednesday – Spellings set and homework set on Google Classrooms

Things that help us learn
We have established the use of Google Classroom as our online learning platform in Key Stage 1.
We also use a My Maths, which will be used as weekly homework.
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.
