Little Wandle Reading Books

We have given out books to those children whose parents have paid the deposit AND signed the agreement. These books are in new plastic zippy wallets with a bookmark which has the child's name on it. We give these LW books out each Thursday so please can these be returned the following Thursday. This allows us time to do our 3 reads per week. We will continue to also add these books onto the E-Collins as an eBook.

If you are not sure if you have paid AND signed the consent then please see your class teacher. Some parents have paid but not signed the agreement and some had signed but not paid!

Upcoming Dates

15.5.24 - Year 1 visit to see The Lion King at the Lyceum Theatre 

Homework

We have set homework for each child which is linked to our maths learning in class. This homework is set on Monday and children have a week to complete it before the following Monday. Information about the homework is on the class Google Classroom. (Links to these are below) Go to the 'Classwork' tab and then 'Autumn Term Home Learning'. 

Log-in sheets for each pupil have now been sent home. We explained to the children that the QR code for Discovery Education had to be updated therefore we have given you an updated copy. The previous QR code on the sheets you may have retained from their Reception class will no longer work. (All other log in details have remained the same.)

There is a separate sheet which has the information required to log in to MyMaths. As with all log in and personal information please keep these somewhere safe.

Reading

Book bags need to be in school every Monday. There is no need to bring book bags on other days.

Daily Little Wandle phonics groups continue in Year 1. In a similar way to Reception, phonics will be taught in groups by all Year 1 staff. Three times a week the children also read with an adult as part of a smaller group. These reading sessions work on decoding, prosody and comprehension. At the end of the week, we will allocate this book to your child on the Collins website. New books will be allocated at the end of each week. Please login at home so that your child can share this with you and show you what they have been learning in school. Please add a comment in your child’s reading record every week to show this has been done. Logins will be new this year and will be written in your new reading records for easy reference.

In addition to this, every Monday your child will bring home a sharing book. These books are recommended Year 1 texts- both fiction and non-fiction. They are labelled with a shiny Year 1 sticker. Please enjoy these together. These books are returned and allocated every Monday. Please add a comment in your child’s reading record to show this has been done. Children will also visit the school infant library and choose a book to bring home. Please also return these alongside the other book on Mondays.

Water and Snacks

Please ensure that your child has a named water bottle in school every day. Fruit will be offered to the children every morning at playtime (10.15am). Your child is allowed to bring in their own snack to eat at playtime. Please remember we are a nut-free school.
