Oxford Reading

Just a quick reminder…

Please make sure that your child is accessing their weekly E-book and Book bag book during the week as this helps greatly with their fluency. The children will receive new reading homework every Friday and will then be expected to bring their books back on a Wednesday morning all completed with a short comment in their reading diaries. Thank you to all those who are already supporting us with this. Just to let you know, the children won’t be receiving a book bag book this week but the E-book and quiz will be set as normal.

Lots of our Year One children are now accessing our Maths App ‘Numbots’ which helps to consolidate what we learn in class. This is super! If your child hasn’t yet gone onto ‘Numbots’ their logging in details can be found in their reading diaries (1st page)

We are now checking their progress and it looks like we have lots of super mathematicians! Well done!

Spellings

Spellings are now in full flow and your child should have received a weekly spelling list from the teacher. As we come to the end of our first half term new spellings will be sent home for your child to learn.

The children have all worked so hard this first half term and we would like to say a big thankyou for all of your support so far. It was lovely to meet so many parents last week and look forward to the lead up to Christmas! We wish you all a great half term break.

Many thanks

Welcome to our Year One blog!

The children have made a great start to the year so far! We’ll be using the blog to post weekly news and keep you up to date with what’s going on!

They have started in their new phonics groups and we have been impressed with how many children have completed their online homework. Please encourage your child to do the reading and complete the quizzes each week as this supports their learning in class and the progress that they make. Their log in details can be found at the front of their reading diaries. The phonics teachers can also check who has completed the homework and the children will receive extra dojos for doing their homework.

The children are adapting well to their new classrooms and have been very busy over the past couple of weeks. They have enjoyed learning all about Julia Donaldson our author study and have had daily story times!

The Flame of Friendship 2024 – The Coventry School’s Olympic Torch Relay

In the run up to the 2024 Paris Olympic and Paralympic games, 62 Coventry primary, secondary and special educational needs schools will be participating in a torch relay, the Flame of Friendship, leaving Coventry Cathedral on Thursday 22nd February and finishing on the University of Warwick campus on Monday 8th July. https://warwick.ac.uk/wie/flame_of_friendship/

The torch is bespoke to this event, designed especially for this event, designed as part of a competition in which more than 2000 Coventry pupils took part. The winning design was submitted by a pupil from Finham Park School and has subsequently been redeveloped at WMG, on the University of Warwick campus.

Flame of Friendship takes Olympic word to schools https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c2v49170xn1o#:~:text=An%20Olympic%2Dstyle%20torch%20is,to%20the%20Paris%202024%20games.

On Wednesday 12th June, it was Coundon Primary’s turn to receive the Flame of Friendship. Sherbourne Fields travelled to our school to deliver it to us. They were greeted by the whole of Coundon during a warm and welcoming lap of the school grounds, where we clapped, cheered and waved scarves, flags or banners for them. The children really enjoyed themselves.

Then on Thursday 13th June, we had the honour of delivering the Flame of Friendship onto Allesley Primary School. The children that took place in the delivery of the torch showed great pride in being chosen and were great representatives for our school. A special thanks needs to go to Miss Mower and Miss Ferris, for agreeing to walk with them all the way!
