Contact Mr Swindells directly using the email address below:
Dear Parents and Carers of Year 1,
Firstly, may I say a huge thank you to everyone for their kind messages and support last week. Please feel free to contact me directly using the email address year1@ferringceschool.co.uk.
The children can send me photos of their writing and how they have been getting busy with their learning at home. Thank you to those who already have, it has been lovely to see how you are all getting along with learning at home.
I will continue to update the links to various online activities for the children to access. There will also be MyMaths tasks set for the week and can be accessed following the link www.mymaths.co.uk.
Please feel free to let me know if you require any additional resources.
Have a great week and stay safe. Please remember to follow the guidelines set out by Public Health during this very worrying time.
Kindest regards,
Mr Swindells

Printable Resources
A number of parents have requested printable resources for the children to access at home. Please see the link to the Twinkl page below.
Oxford Owl - Read Write Inc - Phonics
The children can access all of their phonics sounds via the Oxford Owl website. This is all based upon the scheme that the children follow at school. We would recommend that the children practice their sounds for 15 minutes a day. To help the children there are sound links to follow for each set of phonemes and graphemes.
