Year 1 this week have had the opportunity to engage in some active phonics.

Very similar to our active maths, the children have been moving around our classroom and engaging in different phonics activities.
This has included some Black Cat grapheme word sheets, ‘Read, Make, Write’ activities…

Class 2 have worked so incredibly hard on their nativity over the past few weeks.

The children have done such a wonderful job and we are all so very proud of every single one of them.
