Songthrushes are a cheerful, friendly class who love to be challenged during learning. As the oldest children in Key Stage 1, we try our best to set a good example to the younger learners in the school.

Our Adults.

In Songthrush class, we have two teachers:

Miss Hedge Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday and

Miss Walters on Thursday. 

Mrs Hedge, Mrs Steer and Miss Hammond are our learning support assistants in Song Thrush class every day.

Class commitments

As a class, we have set up our class commitments.  These are behaviours we have agreed need to be shown to help everyone learn.  Our commitments are:

• We will always be kind others.

• We will always talk about our feelings

• We will use indoor voices.

• We will always listen to others

• We will always try our best.

• We will ask for help if we need it.

• We will walk indoors.

Statutory assessments

The phonics screening check is taken individually by all children in Year 1 in England, and is usually taken in June. It is designed to give teachers and parents information on how your child is progressing in phonics. It will help to identify whether your child needs additional support at this stage so that they do not fall behind in this vital early reading skill. As the children did not complete the phonics screening in Year 1 due to the school closure, they will be completing the screening in the second half of the autumn term.

In May 2023, Year 2 will take part in the statutory assessments for the end of Key Stage 1. These assessments are based on all the learning the children have done during KS1 and the children will be prepared in school. Parents and carers will receive further information about the assessments nearer to the time. If you have any queries about the assessments, please do get in contact with either class teacher. 

Communication

We will endeavour to get back to any queries on Class Dojo within 2 working days and will only check messages in working hours where possible (9am to 5pm). Please contact the school office if you have any urgent messages.
