This week’s spellings are ‘common exception’ words – words that don’t follow the usual spelling rule or pattern. We keep spellings for two weeks. On the first week, children need to read and write the word using the ‘look, say, cover, write, check’ method. On the second week, they can write them using rainbow writing. There are some more ideas here too.

 

Year 1

Welcome back!

The children in Year 1 and Year 2 matched the sunshine and came in with sunny smiles and chatter.

They have all settled in well and are beginning to learn the new routines in their new classes.

Each child should’ve brought home an information sheet. It is here below too.

Below is some information about your child’s new class and some of the day to day things that will help your child settle into their new class and routine. Please name everything your child brings into school.
