We have started doing something called writing workshop. This is a type of writing where the child gets to choose what they draw and write about. We encourage them to sound out words and sentences as best they can, we don't worry about perfect spelling. This is more about the enjoyment of writing and sharing their writing with others. At the end of each writing session the children get to share their work with their class mates. Sometimes one person speaking to the whole class and other times sharing their work with just one or two others. They are encouraged to say nice comments and ask questions. 

Children are so naturally inquisitive and love to explore new things. We try to use hands on equipment for learning as much as we can. This means that they can explore, learn and have fun all at the same time.

We had a mysterious visitor before Halloween who showed us some magic spells!

Hi everyone, first I just wanted to say a huge thank you to all of the work put in at home last year. We are so happy to be back in our classroom and learning again with all of our friends. Have a look at some of the things that we have been doing this year so far.

We started our year off in Room 9. We got straight into revising all of the sounds we had completed last year and focusing on how to write them all. We also had lots of fun playing with our friends that we hadn't seen for months!

We got to go and explore our local park and search for different types of animal markings and plant life. We had so much fun and it was such a lovely treat to get out of school for an hour!

Sorry about any muddy clothes, but they had loads of fun running across fields and rolling down hills!
