Last week, the children really enjoyed the chance to work together across year groups in their House Teams (Key Groups). They explored the wider school site, using maps and grid references, then captured the sights, sounds and even smells of the local environment on their iPads to see how the landscape is changing at this time of year. It was superb to see how the Year 2s used their writing skills to document the activity, and even more pleasing to see how they cared for the younger pupils as they walked around the site – spot on, Year 2.
Year 1 have really impressed us with their writing skills too – it’s great to know how far they have progressed this half term, applying their new spellings and really working hard on their presentation and handwriting.
Reception have wowed us with their reading skills – how quickly they are adopting their phonics strategies to open up a brand new world of independent reading is quite remarkable! Now begins a lifetime of reading pleasure.
A huge well done to all the pupils for their learning this week – and thank you to parents for supporting and enhancing this learning through practice at home.
