Friday 20th October 2023
We made it! The first half term is COMPLETE! The amount of homework completed and 5x reading happening has been the best it has ever been and I am very grateful for all of your hard work.
Phonics:
Group 3: air, ure, er and a language session.
Group 6: prefixes, suffixes and root word finding.
Group 5: u-e (huge), u, oul (push, could), a language session and revision games.
The children looked at the five pillars of Islam in RE and designed their own prayer mats. They also used the wooden blocks to create their own mosque and the Kaaba. The children had to write in their books about what they had learnt this half term – they worked really hard!
In PE the children did gymnastics and have been learning about different types of jumps. They did star jumps, pencil jumps, half turns and full turns. They had to jump off of different sized horses.
The children have been read their Christmas play and been told their provisional roles. We listened to the new songs and enjoyed trying to join in where we could.
The children have worked very hard this week to act out the story of Hibernation Hotel. They then had to sequence the story and re-write is using words with the suffix -ed. On Friday the children performed their stories to their peers. Their confidence has developed immensely in doing this, just over this half-term.
Have a spooktacular half-term and we look forward to welcoming you back on October 31st!

Phonics group 6: pre-fix un
Group 5: o and oe, ew (chew), ue (glue)
Group 3: ur, ow (cow), oi, ear.
This week we saw the introduction of our new class Cremyll ‘Quiet Critters’. They sit and watch us do our work but if we are too noisy or pet them, they run back to their safety container. The children have been super quiet and paying much more attention to their work.
In RE the children have talked about the 5 pillars of Islam and what they mean. The children made posters about one of their choice. In Computing, the children talked about how to use technology responsibly. Please ask the children to tell you to check they remember!
The children created a distance write this week where they had to do a completely unaided piece of writing. The children wrote about a robot and there were some lovely and creative ideas.
In PE we used our throwing, catching and batting skills to play a cricket style game. The children have progressed and the hitting accuracy has improved. The children remember to keep their eyes on the ball and be ready!
The children chose a famous person that they have learnt about to write about in History and it was lovely to see how much they remembered. They even sued the display and timeline in the classroom to support themselves. Very independent! In art the children looked at their work and thought about what they would like to improve on or change if they were to do it again.
This week the children only have their five reads to complete and a maths exercise in their books. They do not have a handwriting sheet.
Have a superb weekend, Miss G x
Phonics group 6: pre-fix ‘re’.
Group 3: oo (spoon), oo (book), ar, or and trickyk word she.
Group 5: y (sky), I (mind), ow (blow) and o-e (bone).
In Art we have created a spiral mosaic that has been displayed in the school hall so please do come and have a look. They worked ever so hard on it and they look incredible.
In History we recalled our class trip and talked about all of the statues that we saw. We also completed a timeline to place where each of the famous people were and we also placed ourselves and the time that we were born.
In Computing we learnt about what a keyboard is for and had a go at using a digital keyboard to type. It was tricky to look at a computer one because the letters are in capitals!
To celebrate National Poetry Day we went on an autumnal senses walk and wrote our own poems – they were brilliant and I hope you enjoyed sharing these at home too.
In RE the children recalled what the Qu’ran is and how it should be treated. It is the Muslim holy text and it is written in Arabic. We created our own page with our own special words on.
In PE the children have been building on their throwing and catching skills and had a go at hitting a ball with a cricket bat. They had to catch or retrieve the ball and then use their underarm throwing technique to get the ball back to the bowler.
Thank you to those that attended the Phonics workshop and I hope you found it useful.
Please complete handwriting homework and the wordsearch as well as one workout in the maths book.
As always, please read 5 times and record this in journals.
Pe Kits on a Wednesday and Friday please.
Have a great weekend,
Miss G x
Phonics group 6: suffix -es after x, ss and after ch, sh and tch.
Phonics group 5: ie, ey, y, ir, i-e.
In History this week we recalled famous people with local links in preparation for our visit to Plymouth. On the day of our trip the children still hadn’t seen any images of the statues so it was a real surprise. The children asked lots of questions and remembered lots of facts. They were real ambassadors for the school and used their school values at all times. We were very proud of them.
In Art we continued our work on spirals and looked at looked at spiral shapes in shells and did some observational drawings using HB drawing pencils and watercolour pencils.
In PE the children had to recall all of the ways that we can help ourselves to throw and catch a ball accurately. We had to look at the person throwing it to us, use an underarm movement before releasing the ball at the right time and having our knees bent and hands ready to receive the ball/ We worked in pairs and then we had a go at a ball throwing circuit that got trickier and trickier as we added more balls!
Please can children all have a named PE kit in school at all times. We have PE twice a week – currently a Wednesday and a Friday.
Please don’t forget that year 1 and some year 2 parents have been invited to attend a phonics information session on Thursday at 2:30 pm.
Homework:
One maths workout in the white book.
Onwe handwriting sheet, one word search
Reading 5x and recorded in journals.
Have a super weekend,
Miss G x
This week in class Cremyll
Phonics 3: ch, sh, th, ng and a language session.
Phonics 5: eigh, ey, ei, ea and e-e.
Phonics 6: plural suffixes -s and -es.
In our History lesson we reminded ourselves of what it is to be famous and recapped famous/significant people. We discussed that there are famous people that have local links. We learnt about Tom Daley who grew up in Plymouth and won an Olympic Gold medal for diving. We recognised that Jack Leslie was a footballer and that he used to play for Plymouth Argyle. He was the first black footballer to be called up to play for England. We discussed what an MP was and made links to our school council. We looked at pictures of the houses of Parliament and found out that the first female MP was Nancy Astor who stood for Plymouth. We learnt about Isambard Kingdom Brunel who designed the Royal Albert Bridge between Devon and Cornwall - he was a very famous engineer.
In art we continued our work on spirals. We used oil pastels and black sugar paper to make spiral snails.
In PSHE we talked about and decided our class rules. We typed them up and signed them to say we agree with them. In RE we talked about the Prophet Mohammad and how Muslim’s must say ‘peace and blessings upon him’ after saying his name.
In Science we talked about the senses and which body parts are responsible for them.
Please ensure homework is completed by Thursday as it will be collected then.
Have a super weekend,
Miss G x
