Reading Books
We have paused handing out books until the new year so that we can check that we have all the correct books in school. If you have any library or sharing books at home please return these to the class before the holiday. We have handed out the Little Wandle reading books as normal today so that they share the book they read in class last week.
Glue sticks
Many children are in need of a replacement glue stick to be kept in class. Please can these be provided. Kind regards.
Phonics support for parents
Following our presentation to parents about the Little Wandle phonics programme for year 1. The links below go through the content being taught and how you can support your child at home. This information is also available on the Little Wandle website alongside resources and videos which you may find useful.
Little Wandle Reading Books
We will give out books to those children whose parents have paid the deposit AND signed the agreement. These books are in the plastic zippy wallets with a bookmark which has the child's name on it. We give these LW books out each Monday so please can these be returned the following Monday. This allows us time to do our 3 reads per week. We will continue to also add these books onto the E-Collins as an eBook.
If you are not sure if you have paid AND signed the consent or if you want your child to have the book to take home then please see your class teacher.
Homework
We set homework for each child which is linked to our maths learning in class. This homework is set on Monday and children have a week to complete it before the following Monday. Information about the homework is on the class Google Classroom. (Links to these are below) Go to the 'Classwork' tab and then 'Autumn Term Home Learning'.
Log-in sheets for each pupil will be sent home ASAP but this will be after a week or two of starting as we await this to be set up. The QR code for Discovery Education had to be updated therefore we have given you an updated copy. The previous QR code on the sheets you may have retained from their Reception class will no longer work. (All other log in details have remained the same.)
There is a separate sheet which has the information required to log in to MyMaths. As with all log in and personal information please keep these somewhere safe. Take a photo of the log in sheet might be helpful.
Reading
Book bags need to be in school every Monday.
Daily Little Wandle phonics groups continue in Year 1. In a similar way to Reception, phonics will be taught in groups by all Year 1 staff. Three times a week the children also read with an adult as part of a smaller group. These reading sessions work on decoding, prosody and comprehension. At the end of the week, we will allocate this book to your child on the Collins website. New books will be allocated at the end of each week. Please login at home so that your child can share this with you and show you what they have been learning in school. Please add a comment in your child’s reading record every week to show this has been done.
In addition to this, every Monday your child will bring home a sharing book. These books are recommended Year 1 texts- both fiction and non-fiction. They are labelled with a shiny Year 1 sticker. Please enjoy these together. These books are returned and allocated every Monday. Please add a comment in your child’s reading record to show this has been done. Children will also visit the school infant library and choose a book to bring home. Please also return these alongside the other book on Mondays (Pears) and Tuesday (Cherries).
