Classroom Goals

Here are our classroom goals. We choose our own goal each week and move our name beside it. That way Miss Cranney knows what we are working on.

The Adventures Of Clifford, the Little Red Dog!

In our class we have a mascot called Clifford. You 

may recognise him. 

Clifford, the Big Red Dog, and his even bigger friend, Skiwi.

Clifford can visit the homes of children in Room One 

and then they write about his adventures. Last year 

he went to Paris with a Sacred Heart School parent.

                                                       

Reading

Letterland

Letterland is a child-friendly phonics programme which we use in Room One to learn the sounds and letter names. We cover a few new letters each week. I have sent home a sheet introducing each letter's character. The children love the activities and the programme helps with writing, spelling and handwriting development.

We have songs and poems about the letterland characters to help us remember their names, sounds and how to write them.

Swimming

We have started swimming and so far we are having a great time. The children have all been assessed by their instructors and have been placed in appropriate groups. The free swim time in the splash pool is also being enjoyed by all the children.
