Here you will find a recorded version of the Phonics Parents Meeting. It’s a useful introduction to Phonics or refresher for parents that are already familiar. In the recording, I talk about: what Phonics is; the definition of Phonics vocabulary; Phonics at Stoke Park Primary; supporting Phonics learning at home and assessments in Phonics. I have also attached the ppt used in the presentation so you can click on links mentioned. If you have any further questions, please contact your class teacher and they would be happy to help.

Yesterday, our Year 5 and 6 key worker group visited Stoke Park to meet the goats that are currently residing there. Mrs Annear, who is a goat expert, joined them to answer all their questions. We would really recommend taking a wander over to see them if you haven’t done so already. They are by the BT Tower.

Yesterday, we were thrilled to see that England and British Lions rugby player, Maro Itoje, tweeted his support for our Marathon Month. How exciting! Keep up the good work Team Stoke Park!

Yesterday saw the launch of our whole school community Marathon Month. The staff and children of Stoke Park have set themselves a challenge of running the equivalent of a marathon across the course of the month. We know how important fresh air and exercise is for our mental health, particularly during these uncertain times, and we want to achieve something collectively we can all be proud of. We are also raising money through sponsorship so we are better able to support children with remote learning who may not have access to devices.

We will be sending out our ‘Marathon Mascots’ twice weekly to run the streets of Lockleaze so please do look out for them and give them a wave.

In our Art learning, we have been looking at the work of Kandinsky. We took time to think about his approach to abstract art and focused on his piece ‘Colour study: squares with concentric circles’. We then explored collage techniques, before each producing our own piece at home. Here we have some of the collages from children in Year 1. Can you tell what materials we used?

Join in with this week’s challenge and let us know how you get on. Get moving – inside or out!
