Living and learning : rights and responsibilities

Posted on Thursday 13 January 2022 by Mrs Latham

This week’s living and learning lessons we have been talking about rights and the responsibilities that come with them.

Encouraging children to be responsible and increase their independence is a important (our swimming lessons will help us with this).

We matched some rights with the responsibilities that go with them.

Phonics and early reading – eBooks

Posted on Wednesday 12 January 2022 by Mrs Latham

We hope you all received your usernames and passwords for Collins eBooks (some year 2s do not need them).

These match the phonics books we are reading in school three times a week. We use our phonics skills while reading books.

There is more information on the Little Wandle website about these reading practice sessions.

Reading an eBook at home is a change for children but most people are embracing it and continuing to enjoy the physical ‘sharing book’ which is to be read together and enjoyed.

If you have any problems accessing them, please contact your child’s class teacher.

Living and Learning : I know when to interrupt (and when not to).

Posted on Thursday 06 January 2022 by Mrs Latham

We have talked at length about this!

Young children often feel the need to tell adults immediately something that is in their thoughts. Sometimes this can be at an inappropriate moment. We discussed different scenarios and when it is okay and when it is not okay to interrupt.

Final piece of art work

We used our new printing skills to create a final piece of art work. We added coloured tissue paper as a background then re-used our polystyrene tiles to print on top of this. Some classes made them into calendars to take home too.
