Class 1 - Miss Walker
26/27
Welcome to our classroom!
Here in Class 1 we love to have fun when engaging in our learning, all whilst keeping high expectations.
We explore learning using all of our senses and as staff we encourage the children to understand how they learn best and share our learning with our friends using a mixture of our inside classroom as well as taking the learning outside when we can!
Reading in Key Stage 1!
We love to share books in EYFS/KS1. Throughout the year we read many picture based story books and each day the children vote for which book they would like to hear an adult read to them.
We also have half-termly reading for pleasure afternoons where we all drop what we are doing to enjoy getting cozy with a book, our parents/carers get to come and join in with this special time too.
During the Summer terms we begin to introduce chapter books such as Esio Trot, The Owl who was afraid of the dark and The Faraway Tree, to encourage children to build up their interest in longer stories and think about where the story will go next!
Read Write Inc. Phonics
At Swinderby All Saints we use Read Write Inc. Phonics to support our children's reading and writing.
This scheme has been proven to get children reading across schools and works well with our children.
