Little Wandle Phonics
Why learning to read is so important
- Reading is essential for all subject areas and improves life chances.
- Positive attitudes to reading and choosing to read have academic, social and emotional benefits for children.
How children learn to read
- Phonics is the only route to decoding.
- Learning to say the phonic sounds.
- By blending phonic sounds to read words.
- Increasing the child’s fluency in reading sounds, words and books.
Reading fully decodable books
- Children must read books consistent with their phonic knowledge.
- It is essential not to use other strategies to work out words (including guessing words, deducing meaning from pictures, grammar, context clues or whole word recognition).
- Books must be fully decodable and follow the Little Wandle scheme
- Children need to read books in a progressive sequence until they can decode unfamiliar words confidently.
The role of Parents’ and Carers’
- Have a positive impact on their child’s reading.
- Should model the importance of reading practice to develop fluency.
- Children take home books they have read at school to re-read at home to build fluency.
- There are two different types of books that pupils bring home: reading practice and books to share for pleasure.
- Reading at home encourages a love of books, along with developing vocabulary and discussion.
- Parents should use voices, expression, discuss unfamiliar vocabulary, talk about the pictures, and predict what might happen next.
- Give positive yet informative feedback in the home reading diary at least 3 times a week
Supporting your child with reading
Although your child will be taught to read at school, you can have a huge impact on their reading journey by continuing their practice at home.
There are two types of reading book that your child may bring home:
A reading practice book.
This will be at the correct phonic stage for your child. They should be able to read this fluently and independently.
A sharing book. Your child will not be able to read this on their own. This book is for you both to read and enjoy together.
Reading practice book
This book has been carefully matched to your child’s current reading level. If your child is reading it with little help, please don’t worry that it’s too easy – your child needs to develop fluency and confidence in reading.
Listen to them read the book. Remember to give them lots of praise – celebrate their success! If they can’t read a word, read it to them. After they have finished, talk about the book together.
Sharing book
In order to encourage your child to become a lifelong reader, it is important that they learn to read for pleasure. The sharing book is a book they have chosen for you to enjoy together.
Please remember that you shouldn’t expect your child to read this alone. Read it to or with them. Discuss the pictures, enjoy the story, predict what might happen next, use different voices for the characters, explore the facts in a non-fiction book. The main thing is that you have fun!

Art - Creating a collage
We used digital photographs to create a collage. There are no wrong answers in art and so we were able to choose our own pictures and composition. It's all about our artistic preferences and personal choice!
Y2 Art - compositions
Computing - evaluating our photos
After taking photographs outside in our last session, we spent time today evaluating some and looking for ways in which we could improve them, or what we would do differently if we took a similar picture.
Y2 Computing - Evaluating
Handwashing
We had a visit from the school nurse team this week who gave us some reminders about when and how we should wash our hands. We listened to a story and then recalled the 5 times we MUST wash our hands:
1. Before we eat
2. After we have been to the toilet
3. When we have touched a pet or animal
4. After we have played outside/in messy activities
5. After you sneeze
We then talked about sneezing and the importance of catching them! After this we completed an activity with glitter which demonstrated how easy germs can spread if we don't wash our hands. Once we were covered with glitter germs (and so was the classroom!) the nurses taught us how to wash our hands in the most effective way to remove as many of those germs as we could!
Y2 Handwashing
Advent Promises
As we enter into the time of Advent, we have taken time to think about and make some promises. After writing them on our promise dove, we were then able to place them on the Christmas tree in the school hall.
Y2 Advent Promises
PE, PE and more PE
We have been improving each PE session and impressing Mr Williams with our skills! He has had to make activities a bit more tricky for us so we can excel! We always end a session with cool down and when we are inside, we can do some yoga.Check it out!
Y2 PE, PE, PE
Sorry we haven't added to this in a while but we have been very busy rehearsing for our Christmas Performances. We cannot wait to show you!
James Dasaolu
Wow! What an inspiration to us all. It was brilliant to have James visit our school and share his story in a special assembly - including doing a standing jump onto the gymnastics horse! We then took part in our sponsored events. Mrs Mc even got involved!

Remembrance - a reflection
"Look at the poppy in your hand.
Poppies are bright and cheerful flowers: say thank you to God for the lives of those who have died in war, remembering all the joy they brought to families and friends, and all the good things they did for their home and their country.
Then look at the red petals: red reminds us of danger and harm. Ask God to be close to those who are still facing danger each day, to give courage to the armed forces, and compassion to all who help others.
Place your hand over the poppy: poppies are also fragile and need to be handled gently. God cares for those who are hurting and those who are sad. Ask God to comfort all who are grieving the loss of someone they love.
Finally place a finger on the centre of the poppy: ask God to help you play your part in working for peace in the world."

RE - Zechariah and the temple
Today we learnt about the message that Zechariah received from the Angel Gabriel about the birth of his son. As Zechariah did not believe the Angel, he was unable to speak again until what he had said came true. We imagined Zechariah explaining to Elizabeth what had happened in the Temple and how he would be able to communicate the message without words.
Y2 RE Zechariah
Homework - Favourite Blackpool places
To end this half term, we celebrated our homework pieces by having a 'show & tell' session. We were able to look at all the work everyone had done as well as talk about their pictures, drawing and models. Some of us were brave enough to come to the front to talk about their favourite place in front of the whole class. Well done to everyone who took part.
Y2 Blackpool Homework
SHOWTOWN TRIP!
Wow! What a day. We were not going to let the rain dampen our spirits as we set off on our trip! After walking up Red Bank Road to the promenade, we caught the tram into Blackpool. On arrival at the Showtown Museum, we were introduced to Steph, Snappy, Seagull and Donkey and learnt all about the History of Blackpool and looked at some artefacts. Then we split off into groups to take part in the different activities. The workshop allowed us to discuss life by the seaside and the similarities and differences between then and now. We also used our senses to explore the seaside - the feely bags had things like seashells and feathers in and the scent bottles included the smell on sun cream and... donkey poo!! Then we looked at clothing through the ages and swimming costumes before having the chance to try some outfits on.
Around the museum we explored the seaside by taking snaps, reading fortunes and having a go at performing our own Punch and Judy show. The ringmaster put us through our paces, training us to be circus performers and then we designed our own illumination displays as well! A jam-packed time had by all, so we were ready for our lunch on the comedy carpet before heading home again by tram. We had a fab day learning about our home town.
Y2 Showtown Trip
RE - Baptism
Our recent focus in RE has been on baptism. We have looked at the meanings of signs and symbols associated with the rite of Baptism as well as the order of the service. In groups, we then acted out a Baptismal rite, using oil, water and following the script. Here are some pictures from one of the groups.

Fire Brigade Talk
On Friday afternoon, we had a visit from Ben, Brian and Darren from Bispham Fire Station. They talked to us about fire safety, smoke alarms, as well as teaching us the technique of 'Stop, Drop & Roll' if we were ever unlucky enough to have our clothing catch fire. We then watched a video of Smokey, the Fire Brigade Teddy, who taught us about how to escape a fire and create a fire plan. We then acted out what we would do in such an event. We were given homework by the Fire Service, to check we have working smoke alarms in our homes and to create a family fire plan.
Y2 Fire Brigade Talk
Maths - comparing objects
This week we have been comparing objects using 'more than' and 'less than' to compare them. Today we used objects to make inequalities and statements true. We have linked the vocabulary with the mathematical symbols of > and < as well.

Advent Wreath
This year the school is working on producing the Liturgical Year in Art form. We were given the Advent section and on Wednesday morning, half the class worked on the art project.

RE - Visiting Church
Today, we visited St Bernadette's Church with Year 4. As we entered onto the Church grounds, we reminded ourselves of church etiquette and how to be respectful and reverent at all times. We practised genuflecting as we faced the Blessed Sacrament in the tabernacle before entering our pew. We were “prayerfully silent”, so that we could focus on praying and reflecting. We recalled responses and knelt on the kneeler as well as sharing the sign of peace with those around us. It was really enjoyable working alongside our Year 4 partners.
Y2&Y4 Church Visit
Maths - Place Value
Lots and lots of work on place value this week, looking at the value of digits, writing numbers in digits and words. We were able to show numbers on the rekenreks and use base 10 to make them on place value charts!

Science - Animals and their offspring
This week we have been looking at different animals and seeing if we could match the adult to the offspring. Some were easy but some were quite tricky! We could then classify them by this to see if there was a link between this and the animal type. For example, we found that mammals have offspring that look like them but amphibians do not.
Y2 Science Sorting
DT - Puppets
An amazing start to Y2 this week with everyone working hard on their creative skills to make different puppets. We looked at lots of different styles of puppets before making our own finger puppet. Then we designed a glove puppet from a design brief. We still have to finish those off but they are looking brilliant!

Sports Day
A big well done to all of Year 2 for a great performance in all of the activities during sports day. We had beanbag races, an obstacle course, relay, egg and spoon race and of course a sack race. All of the children cheered each other on and showed great sportsmanship. We even had a little race for the parents to join in!
Imagine That
On Wednesday, Years 1 and 2 had an amazing trip to 'Imagine That!' in Liverpool. They became hairdressers, shop assistants, builders and firefighters in 'The Village' before going through to the art area where they could get creative with painting - they could even paint a car! They then went on to become scientists in the science rooms, making slime and snow. Everybody had a wonderful day and were so impressed with the venue!
Reading with Bailey
We are lucky that Bailey is coming into school to read with the whole class and a few of us on our own every week. Each week we have a 'word of the week' and the winner gets to perform a trick with Bailey. She absolutely loves popping bubbles.
St Bernadette's Feast Day
In class we have learnt all about St Bernadette's visions of Our Lady of Lourdes. We retold the events when St Bernadette found the spring. To celebrate, as a school we enjoyed some ice-cream from Manfredi's ice-cream. Thank you, it was delicious!
Stations of the Cross
We have been over to church to look at the stations of the Cross reflections by the children at our school. We all thought about what Jesus went through during the events of Good Friday. As a class, we produced a reflection on...
Station 7 - Jesus fell for a second time
Station 9 - Jesus fell for a third time
Station 13 - Jesus was taken down from the cross
Fire Safety
We have had a visit from the fire brigade to help us think about keeping safe in a fire. We practised 'Stop! Drop! and Roll!' and shouted 'FIRE!' as loud as we could so that people around us could hear.
Let it Snow
Even though there wasn't too much of it, we all loved being able to get out and play in the snow!
World Book Day
Look how fabulous everybody looked for World Book Day! We enjoyed drawing and writing a character description about the character we dressed up as. We looked at the book 'The Day the Crayons Quit' and completed some writing as if we were one of the crayons. We had so much fun!
Great Fire of London Zoom
In Summer term, we will be looking at The Great Fire of London and had the opportunity for an online zoom session with a lady from the national archive. We loved learning all about what the national archive is and how to be history detectives to find information out about the Great Fire of London. We learnt a lot and are all set for our Great Fire of London learning in a few weeks!
Fraction Man
We all enjoyed learning the story of 'Fraction Man' by using actions to help us memorise the language used throughout.
Fieldwork of Bispham
We have been looking at urban and rural areas in our geography lessons and thinking about where our local area fits with this. We went on a walk around Bispham and made a note of all of the different features that would help us decide whether our area is urban or rural. We really enjoyed exploring.
Making a Map of School
In Geography the children looked at different features they could spot on our school grounds. They then attempted to make this with different building materials and used this knowledge to design a map for somebody who may come and visit our school.
Tramshed Visit
Year 2 were really lucky that when Tramshed came in to perform 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears' for KS1, they could take part in a workshop after. They all had an amazing time and learnt a lot!

Blackpool History Afternoon
We were lucky enough to have some visitors in for an afternoon of Blackpool fun! We learnt all about how Blackpool holidays have changed over the years as well as looking at the clothes people wore, the animals in Blackpool (particularly donkeys), different stages of the tower being built and about what creatures came out of different shells. We had so much fun!
Forest School
We have loved taking part in Forest School this half term. We have been harvesting onions, runner beans and peas; planting seeds and bulbs; learning how to hammer a nail; learning how to drill in a screw; playing in the mud kitchen; building dens and making different foods on around the camp fire.
