Let’s get swimming!
We have finally had children from Reception and Key Stage 1 swimming in our own pool! Two teaching assistants are now trained swimming instructors and each class has had their first lesson this week. There were some nervous children but also lots of excitement.
I loved going with my class.
I have never been swimming but I liked it.
I can already swim but liked going and being active with my friends.

Living and learning : rights and responsibilities
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
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).
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.
1,2B Christmas party
