WOODPECKER CLASS

Welcome to Woodpecker Class !

Hello Woodpeckers and Happy New Year to you and your families!

We hope you have all had lots of fun over Christmas and enjoyed spending time together. Thank you so much for your warm Christmas wishes and for the lovely gifts - it was very kind of you all.

We are looking forward to having lots of fun with our learning this term. Our new topic is 'Toys and past-times' so we are hoping to hear about some of the toys you may have got for Christmas!

Online home learning

Please log on to Teams to access the home learning materials. If you are unable to access Teams, please let the school office know and we will see what we can do to help.

In the meantime, continue to read everyday, practise addition and subtraction to 10 and 20 and try to write some sentences using your cursive handwriting. You could write about something you did in the Christmas holidays.

Continue to use the links below to gain access to maths and phonics games and remember the Oxford Owl website can be used to access online books.

Fun at Christmas!

Number Bond Club

Keep practising your number bonds for our weekly check on Wednesday mornings.

Please see below a parent guide to Numbots, a fantastic maths resource to practice key maths skills.

The children have got their login details stuck into the back of their reading diaries. Have fun!

Handwriting Practise Update

We have been so impressed with how well the children are doing learning their continuous cursive letter formation. Please keep encouraging the children to practise correct letter formation at home when they are writing. We would recommend that lined paper is always used as we teach children to start all lower case letter on the line and 'whoosh up'. We have attached a cursive letter formation sheet below if needed.
