Spotlight on Learning: F3 Phonics

We’ve been learning phonics sounds for about 6 weeks now in F3, in which we have covered many sounds in the alphabet. We’re using a programme called Read Write Inc. and through a variety of activities and games to make it as active, hands on and meaningful as possible for our little learners we are already seeing great progress and enthusiasm.

Mr Carl Mincher: Weekly Update 10/11/2017

Our Weekly Wellbeing focus on Monday established the theme of this week as Attitude for Gratitude which we swiftly followed up on Tuesday with a thought provoking performance of 100 causing us all to consider our most important lifetime memories. On Wednesday we shared our gratitude with Country Representatives in a coffee morning as a thank you for their tremendous efforts on International Day. Today the atmosphere was deeply reflective in our Remembrance Day assembly as we were caused to consider the human impact of conflict and how we can best build a better and more peaceful world. I hope you enjoy reading this week’s newsletter and can get an understanding of how this week’s events have reminded us of the importance of our emotional connections, how much we can benefit from them and how they enrich our lives.
