Good afternoon,

The children had a ball making butter with Mrs Cunningham this morning as part of their health and wellbeing lesson. Our quality assurance officer (Mr Butler) gave high praise, stating that it tasted as good as, if not better than, shop bought butter!

 

Please click on the link below for this week’s spelling list. The phoneme is /j/ and its spelling variations include ‘j’, ‘g’, ‘dge’, and ‘ge’.

 

Spelling-j-g-dge-ge

 

See below for some ideas to help you practise your spelling, or come up with some of your own.

Good morning,
The children have been focussing so well in spelling and enjoying the different activities to embed their learning in class. Please find the link to the new spelling phoneme below, ‘ll’. 
Spelling is practised over two weeks, with an assessment in class every second week. Remember, once your child is confident with their own spelling word list, they are encouraged to try another group’s words. They could also come up with some words of their own to add to their list.

Spelling ll – le – el – al

 

You could try one of the activities below to practise your spelling.

Scottish Song for Burns Day

Leave a comment
Well, after a near unanimous vote, the children decided on learning the Jeely Piece Song for Burns Day this year. The energy in the room as the children sang their first attempt after hearing it for the first time was unmatched. Over the coming weeks, we look forward to disecting and learning more about the story behind the song, as well as learning the song itself for you all to enjoy on the 23rd January.

You will find links to the YouTube video and lyrics for the song below. Please note, I have included all verses in the lyrics below, we may not do all of these, we will see how the children get on and choose their favourites.

Spelling w/b 06/10/25

In class, we have been doing lots of spelling practice and revision of previous learning which has lead us nicely into learning our new phonemes and their various spelling patterns. The children have been split into groups based on their previous learning and baseline assessments, to ensure the learning is at their individual pace and challenge level. However, these groups are not set in stone, which means the children can freely practise any spelling word they like, in addition to their own spelling words. 

This week we have been learning the ‘ai’ phoneme and its spelling variations.  See below.

Children are encouraged to practise as often as they can at home, whenever fits in with their home lifestyle. We will not be collecting any homework in, but we will do a little weekly spellcheck in class to ensure progression and see where children may need more support. Please see below for some activity ideas to make spelling fun, or feel free to come up with your own.
