“Learning, loving and encouraging through Christ.”
Today we were lucky to be invited to the Shepway Sports multi-skills afternoon with other local primary schools at the MARSH Academy.
We had a great time completing in 10 different sessions and learning new skills. The children even had some book characters to help them!
Have a look at our photos – more to come!
Week 2 was full of lots of different activities.
We are learning to use all the resources in our classrooms and work together to share, count and order.
In Music we listened to the flight of the bumblebee and then worked hard to recreate the music 🙂
We tried to be artists last week and paint our own version of sunflowers. The children enjoyed reading the story about Camille and how the sunflower painting came to be.
Mixing paints to create different tones of yellow was our aim…

Have a look at this video to see how we hope to transform our teaching of phonics, reading and writing 🙂
In the afternoons we have been exploring what resources we have in our outside area.
We are always on the search for more pipes and gutters to develop our water area!
This week we have been settling in to our new classrooms. We have been doing lots of ordering numbers and activities with number.
Look at our photos to see some of our hard work, we hope you enjoy them!
Mrs Reynolds and Miss Common have been to visit the site of our first school trip for the 2017-2018 School Year, we have been busy creating exciting learning experiences for our new Year One children and we are really looking forward to welcoming you all on Wednesday 6th September.
Our first IPC (international primary curriculum topic) will be Flowers and Insects. On Friday will be designing our own miniature gardens, so feel free to start collecting little objects that you could use for your own mini garden!
We are always looking to develop our outdoor area, so if you have any off-cuts of piping or clips to help with our new water wall, or any old baking tins or pans for our mud kitchen we would really appreciate any donations 🙂
Have a look through these lovely photos to see what flowers and insects you can spot!
We hope you have a lovely last few days of the school holiday.
Miss Reynolds and Miss Common
Welcome to New and Old Year One Parents,
Please log on to our Oxford Owl account where you can access free reading books online, you have a log-in stuck in your child’s contact book, if you can’t find it – just email Miss Common
https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk
We would also like to introduce you to Read Write Inc.
We will be suing this method to teach phonics to Reception, Year One and Year Two pupils from September.
Your child has been assessed and will be grouped with children for a 45 minute phonics, reading and writing session every morning. It is a fun, fast paced programme that will help your child to develop a love for reading.
We want to ensure that we give our children here at St Nicholas Primary the best start in their education, and we ask for your support too!
Have a look at these videos that will show how we will be teaching phonics and how you can support at home too.

On Tuesday we sent two Badger representatives with Miss Williams and Mrs Leyshon to Leeds Castle.
Badgers Class won the Buster Bookclub competition this year – we are really proud of how much our children continue to read!
