Phonics
In year 1, we follow 'Read, Write Inc' to learn letters and their sounds. We have phonics every day. Follow the link if you want to know more:
In Year 1, the children will do a statutory phonics test. Part of the test is to read 'alien' words, these are nonsense words that have no meaning. Your child will bring home this type of word to practise. Please make sure you help them to practise them regularly and read their home reading book daily. These are examples of alien words.
REFLECTION TIME
During the school day, there are dedicated times where we collectively stop, think and reflect. Children are invited to join in with these prayers.
Lunchtime Prayer
Thank you for the world so sweet,
thank you for the food we eat,
thank you for the birds that sing,
thank you God for everything
Amen
End of day prayer
Thank you Lord for this nice day,
Bless our work, our friends, our play,
Amen
Our classroom and playground have prayer spaces that children may visit too.
