This week in Reception the children have been introduced to Phonics Bug. We have started learning about different phonemes, so far we have worked on 's' and 'a' sounds.

Year 2 started their new unit in English today ‘Little Red Reading Hood’. The first lesson was an experience day. They went for a walk around school looking for different places they would like to read.

Year 2 - English
In English, we have been sorting facts about Neil Armstrong. The children enjoyed learning about him and over the next few weeks they will write a non-chronological report about his life and the when he landed on the moon.
Y3 - Adventure Stories.
Year 3 have been writing their own adventure stories and sharing them with thier classmates.
Year 2 - Re-Telling a Story.
The children began the week re-telling the story ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ to a partner. They then planned their own story on a story map, changing the name of the main character (e.g Little Pink Riding Hood), who she met in the woods (e.g a bear) and then thought about what the new character said to her (e.g ‘Oh Granny, what big paws you have’. The children will use this plan to help them write their own story. We look forward to reading them next week.
Year 6 - Writing a New Chapter for the Wizard of Oz.
We have had a lot of fun this morning making a new chapter for the Wizard of Oz story come to life with role plays and freeze frames in Year 6!
Reception Class - Name Writing

Library Visit - Y4
We loved our visit to Darwen Library today! We learned all about how a library works and enjoyed looking at all the different books. We all borrowed a book to keep at school. Those who brought back their form to become members will get their library cards by the end of the week so you can go back and choose a book to enjoy at home.
