AWARDS

Well done to our award winners this week!                                                                

Phonics

We have continued our Phase 3 sounds this week. 

Please can we practise with your child the tricky words from phase 2.           Thank you. 

Reading

Please remember to read regularly with your child. This term especially is important as we delve deeper into their phonetic knowledge for building reading and comprehension skills.

Also please can you ensure only one key ring is hanging from your child's book bag. This will help us fit them in the class box. Thank you.

Please send into school the reading book and reading record book each day as we hear the children read aswell. We change the books twice weekly on Mondays and Thursdays. Books will only be changed if the reading record has been written in. If you have any questions please ask.

Library Session 

We have continued to attend the school library on a Friday morning. The children will have the opportunity to choose and take home a book to read over the weekend. This book must be returned on the Thursday so we can change it the following Friday.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION....

Please can we ask if you didn't return your child's book to send it in as soon as possible. A new book cannot be issued until returned.

World Book Day – Thursday 5th March 2026

For World Book Day this year we invited the children to dress up as their favourite book character. The children participated in lots of fun reading activities throughout the day and shared their favourite stories.

Maths

We have been learning about shape this week. We have explored 2D and 3D shapes. We have been on a shape hunt to find everyday items that are a matching the different shapes. We also enjoyed creating pictures with shapes.

Literacy

This week we have been learning facts about dinosaurs using a range of non-fiction books and online video resources to write about our findings. 

Safety in PE

We would like to remind all parents that for the safety of all children and following guidance from Chorley SSP, jewellery is not to be worn during PE. This includes earrings, bracelets and watches. All children will be asked to remove their jewellery at the start of every PE lesson. This will ensure their own safety during the lesson and the safety of others. If a child is unable to take out their own earrings, adults in school will not be able to do it for them. This will mean they will have to take another role in the lesson such as observing, coaching or officiating.

For this reason, if your child is not confident taking out earrings, please do not put them in on our PE days. This year, our PE lessons are on Monday and Friday, however we may also have extra lessons on other days throughout the year.

Thank you for your support in keeping our children safe.

We also had a visit from Chorley School Sports Partnership to support our Easter fundimental skills assessments.

End of Day Routine

• Children will only be allowed to go home with adults listed on the safeguarding form, unless school has been contacted to state otherwise. ​

• Children will be dismissed one at a time. Please let the adult on the gate know who you are picking up and they will then call the child.

• We kindly request that all children are dismissed prior to teachers/ Teaching Assistants being approached by parents. ​

• Should any child need to come back into the classroom, we will allow them back into the room after all of the children have been dismissed.​

Show and Tell!

Please send us a video clip of their loudest roar! and movments like a dinosaur.

Please can we ask that children only bring in items/photos for show and tell based on what we have asked for on the blog.
