Phonics Let’s start with an alphabet song… Friday is always a revision day. Open up your phoneme book and see if you can remember the new digraphs learnt this week (short oo, long oo, ar and ur).  Check you have a word and picture on each page or spend some time today catching up.  Test […]

Phonics Sing along with this alphabet song.  Today’s new digraph is ‘ur’ for fur. When you say ‘ur’, turn your hands around each other like when you sing ‘wheels on the bus’. Watch this video to show you some more ur words to read.  Look at the picture below from the video. See if you […]

Phonics Listen to this tricky word song to see how many you can remember… Have a look at the pictures below. Use your robot arms to say them and see if you can guess what our new digraph is for today.  When you say ‘ar’ you open your mouth like you are at the dentist […]

Today we all enjoyed some popcorn as we watched the virtual Christmas Panto! We all thought it was really funny, especially when Mrs Smith was the biscuit thief!

Today we all made Christmas hats ready to wear for the Christmas dinner. It was delicious and we listened to some festive music whilst eating to keep us feeling extra jolly! This afternoon we had a special visit from Mrs Smith who brought us some presents from Santa! We love our new Frozen puzzle, tool […]

Over the past few weeks we have enjoyed making some Christmas crafts like paper chains, playdough challenge snowmen (which then evolved into monsters and hedgehogs!), stockings, tree decorations and much more of the children’s own ideas!

Grayling 4 have worked with Mrs Rothman to create a Damers window display in Dorchester town as part of the window trail! Why don’t you go on a Christmas hunt for all 12 windows and see if you win the prize? 🙂
