PE – Year 2 will need P.E kit on a Tuesday for this term. Year 1 will need P.E kit on a Wednesday Please label P.E kits and trainers.

 

Wellbeing Wednesday – children should come to school in their PE kit on a Wednesday as we aim to do activities to improve our physical and mental wellbeing on this day.

Darllen - We encourage you to read for 10 minutes daily with your child at home as well as going through their letters and sounds, tricky words and high frequency words. We will also listen to children read in school and adjust their reading levels if appropriate.

Wet Weather Clothing - We regularly work outside in our wonderful outdoor area. Children can bring in wet weather gear at the beginning of the term and leave it on their peg for all of our outdoor learning. 

Class Dojo - We make good use of the Class Dojo to communicate with you at home and are happy to answer any queries that you may have too!

Amser Snac – We have snack time before break where all children are able to have milk. Please label your child’s fruit and/or pot.

Homework – Regular homework will be based on sounds and numbers worked on in class. A small homework grid will also go home termly for children to enjoy project-based homework. 

​

Funky Friday – Every Friday afternoon, children can engage in activities of their choice. Activities are based around a book read in the previous week and are thought of by the pupils themselves.

Dewi the Dragon- Dewi the Dragon will visit different homes every week. Children can take Dewi along to their activities throughout the week and record their fun in the diary that comes home with him.

Reading for pleasure- Every Friday children can take a reading book of their choice home to enjoy with family. Please ensure that reading books are returned when finished to change for another. 

​

Phonics - Phonics is a method for teaching people how to read and write an alphabetic language. It is done by demonstrating the relationship between the sounds of the spoken language, and the letters or groups of letters or syllables of the written language. The children have 4 20-minute phonic sessions a week in small groups. Children are assessed throughout each term to monitor progress. These sessions are done through a fun and engaging approach with a mini spelling assessment at the end of each week.​​​​

​

Facebook – We will be posting about our learning every Wednesday on the school Facebook page - St Oswald’s VA Primary School.
