Our learning this week…

English

At Howard Primary School we have adopted Read Write Inc Phonics.

RWI is a method of learning centred round letter sounds and phonics, and we use it to aid children in their reading and writing. Read Write Inc., developed by Ruth Miskin, provides a structured and systematic approach to teaching literacy. It is used by more than a quarter of the UK’s primary schools and is designed to create fluent readers, confident speakers and willing writers.

Using RWI, the children learn to read effortlessly so that they can put all their energy into comprehending what they read. It also allows them to spell effortlessly so that they can put all their energy into composing what they write.

When using RWI to read the children will:

  • Learn 44 sounds and the corresponding letter/letter groups using simple picture prompts
  • Learn to read words using Fred Talk
  • Read lively stories featuring words they have learnt to sound out
  • Show that they comprehend the stories by answering questions.

Five key principles underpin the teaching in all Read Write Inc. sessions:  

Purpose – know the purpose of every activity and share it with the children, so they know the one thing they should be thinking about

Participation – ensure every child participates throughout the lesson. Partnership work is fundamental to learning

Praise – ensure children are praised for effort and learning, not ability

Pace – teach at an effective pace and devote every moment to teaching and learning

Passion – be passionate about teaching so children can be engaged emotionally.

https://home.oxfordowl.co.uk/reading/reading-schemes-oxford-levels/read-write-inc-phonics-guide/

Hold a sentence is an activity that encourages children to remember a whole sentence while focusing on spelling and punctuation.

Build a sentence is to give children the opportunity to create their own sentence to that shows the meaning of a word and edit a sentence allows the children to critique a sentence using their knowledge of spelling punctuation and grammar. Children complete a longer piece of independent writing, which gives them the opportunity to show off their creativity and to practice their spelling, grammar and punctuation.

What is the Yellow Zone?

On Monday , May 23rd, children and staff took part in our Zones of Regulation Assembly.

We looked at the Yellow Zone.

What feelings belong to this zone?

 

What behaviours might we display when we are in the Yellow Zone? What tools can we use to help us or others?

 

 

We also looked at the physical signs of a yellow feeling like worry and anxiety. We discovered that Worry and Anxiety can feel like a tummy ache, uncomfortable pressure in our tummy area, heavy head or a headache, tension in our bodies. Worry and Anxiety can also cause for our words to get stuck or make a stammer worse.

 

We focused on understanding what stammer is and how we can put into practice care and consideration. We used the video below.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=je7mlAzyD7A http://

We ended the assembly by looking at famous celebrities in the arts, sports, maths and politics including singer Gareth Gates, golfer Tiger Woods, mathematician Alan Turing , USA President Jo Biden and King George VI, the father of Queen Elisabeth II.
