Phonics in action.

During this focused activity, the children’s early phonic awareness was assessed and further developed. The children were challenged to sort a range of familiar objects according to two initial sounds they have been learning through the Read Write Inc. phonics scheme.

This activity provided a valuable opportunity to observe the children’s ability to listen attentively, recognise initial sounds and apply their growing phonics knowledge with confidence. The children demonstrated strong critical thinking and problem-solving skills as they discussed their choices and organised the objects appropriately.

Activities such as this highlight the importance of secure foundational phonics skills and how these can be applied meaningfully to support future reading and writing development. We were extremely impressed with the progress the children have made and the confidence they showed throughout the task. Well Done Crew Frost. Keep up the hard work.

Our Class Library!

Crew White are enjoying our new class library. There are lots of books thanks to our new ‘book swap’ scheme. We bring books in that we know will interest other classmates and share them on the book shelf. We have a mixture of non-fiction, fiction and First News. Football magazines are very popular right now!

This supports our target of reading more at home. If you want to find out more about the class library, come to Year 6.

The more you read, the more you know, the more you know, the more places you’ll go.
