Class Information

PPA - PPA is planning, preparation and assessment time for teachers. At Stuart Road every teacher is entitled to a day out the class every fortnight. Miss Dan’s PPA day will be every other Tuesday. Mrs Baker will be covering the class when Miss Dan is on her PPA.

Reading and phonics — At Stuart Road we follow the RWI phonics scheme. Reading books will be given out later in the term once we have begun to group children in the phonics sessions. To start with, the children will be provided with single sound sheets to practice the sound that has been taught that day. After the groupings, the children will eventually move onto simple CVC blending books. Alongside phonics books, we give the children a shared reading book. This book is for you to read to your child and share a love for reading. We will be changing reading books in school every Friday.
