Reading
Pie Corbett’s Reading Spine is a core of books that create a living library inside a child’s mind. It is a store of classics and essential reads that help children engage at a deeper level and enter the world of the story. Please follow the links below for the reading spines for each year group.
Phonics
The Year 1 children in Haddon Class also take part in daily phonics sessions. We follow the 'Little Wandle' program to enable the children to learn their letters and sounds. More information for parents can be found here.
In PSHE, the children have thought about how they should treat their VIPs. As part of this, they have tested and evaluated their own collaboration skills, whilst completing tangram challenges.
Who has been stealing the milk? An unknown local animal has been stealing milk from outside houses! In order to solve the crime, we have used our skills to classify animals, investigate (fake) faeces and analyse footprints.
What an amazing visit from Jungle Jo! The children learned even more about how we can classify animals whilst getting close to a selection of Jungle Jo's animals, including a tree frog and a hissing cockroach.
How are flowers portrayed in art?
We have been using tools to create an impressionist pond, in the style of Monet.
