Welcome to the Hazel class area of the website. Here you will find all the information you require to support your child in Hazel class during the summer term.
Hazel class is our Key Stage one class for Year 1 and Year 2 pupils.
Staff
Mrs Fletcher teaches on Monday, Tuesday and Friday. Mrs Field teaches on Wednesday and Thursday.
Our Learning Support Assistants are Miss Webb and Miss Buckley.
Outdoor Learning & PE
Hazel Class will be enjoying Outdoor Learning on Tuesday afternoons. Please can they bring their outdoor learning clothes to school in a named bag. PE is on a Thursday. Children keep their PE kit in school all week and get changed at school.
Reading Books
Colour band books can be changed each day or when required. Your child does this independently when they arrive at school in the morning. Phonics Shed books and library books will be changed weekly on a Thursday. A new Phonics Shed book is issued if your child has read the current book and it is recorded in their reading diary. Please listen to your child read their Phonics Shed book at least three times a week. If they have a phonics keyring please help them to practise the phonemes as much as possible.
Children can choose a new library book if they return the current one that has been issued. The whole class visits the school library every Thursday.
Please see Mrs Fletcher or Mrs Field if you would like some help supporting your child when practising their phonics or when reading at home.
Raffle Tickets
If your child has read aloud to a grown-up at home three times, they will be given a raffle ticket in return for their efforts, plus a house point for each day they have read. If they read six times, they get two raffle tickets! The raffle is drawn each week during our Pride of Punnetts Town Celebration Assembly. The raffle winner can choose a brand-new book or stationary item to take home, from Mrs Kinsella. It really does make a difference to their reading fluency if they practice often.
Maths Fluency
Please support your child at home to learn the set of Maths Fluency Flashcards they bring home in their folder. Once these are all completed your child will begin their journey in learning the 2,10, 5 and 3 times tables.
Spellings
Each week we practise a new spelling rule to help develop our writing skills. Your child will be set a weekly spelling assignment on Ed Shed and bring home their spelling list. Please can they access this game-based activity for 10 minutes each week to help embed the current weekly spelling rule. We enjoy a ‘spelling hive’ on Fridays.
Creativity
Hazel Class is full of some very enthusiastic engineers and artists! We welcome any donations of craft materials (straws, cake cases, lolly sticks, collage bits, fabric, wool etc) to support their creations. Also, any items for junk modelling (boxes, tubes, yoghurt pots etc.) are always well received by the children! The children also enjoy accessing different kinds of craft papers and envelopes, if you have any to donate! Thank you!
If you have any questions or concerns please contact us.
Many thanks
Mrs Fletcher & Mrs Field
