We specifically talk about engaging topics like cake and birthdays, making the vocabulary immediately relevant and memorable for the children. Visuals provide concrete reference points, aiding children in associating simple words with objects and actions. By focusing on concise sentences, we provide accessible models that children can easily imitate and repeat, building their confidence in speaking. This strategy supports the development of strong speaking and listening skills by reducing cognitive load and encouraging quick responses. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f45316873a4044d57a29a7b/f8b7b524-cc88-4f54-bb50-ea57b386eb04/unnamed-310.png News - Limitless Literacy - Sensible Sentences - KS1 In Year 1, we have been focusing on sentence writing. Children have found various opportunities to explore what a sentence is and how to write a sentence that makes sense. Lessons were dedicated to this: for instance, they were given sheets with words that needed to be unscrambled to make a sentence. Success criteria for work have been amended accordingly to place additional emphasis on paying attention to writing sentences correctly and using the correct punctuation. Additionally, we have been teaching adjectives to improve the quality of sentences. Attached is an example of a piece of writing based on the story ‘Beegu’. Time openers, onomatopoeia and adjectives were introduced and encouraged through modelling the writing and many children took this on board, which was reflected in their work. Some experimented with the use of exclamation mark and children used vocabulary from the book. Next steps and conferencing also helped reinforce teaching sentence structure. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f45316873a4044d57a29a7b/4b97cca4-3fc1-449f-b196-56d2d6a1ff5e/unnamed-309.png News - Limitless Literacy - Pro Prose - LKS2 In the Autumn term children have been reading two texts: “Ug”, a boy who lives in the stone age and want to change things for the better!

SEN-se of Adventure - Bubbling with Confidence - EYFS In the EYFS group room, our children with SEND really enjoy bubble printing—it’s a fun, hands-on activity that supports their learning in lots of different ways. As they make markings with different materials and watch the bubbles appear on the paper, they’re developing their fine motor skills without even realising it! The sensory side of the activity can also be really calming, especially for children who find certain textures or experiences overwhelming. It gives them a safe space to explore colours and patterns in a relaxed, playful way. Being part of a group art activity also encourages them to communicate, share, and feel included, helping to build their confidence and sense of belonging. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f45316873a4044d57a29a7b/2632a860-72f8-4561-a3ba-2d94b73712c5/unnamed-144.jpg News - SEN-se of Adventure - Keep Calm, Carry On - KS1 In Year 1, a class with children of varying needs take part in whole-class sensory circuits to improve engagement.

They continued to look at more physical symbols of Christianity (bread and wine representing Jesus’ blood and body) and the non-physical symbols (e.g.- parables and the Lord’s prayer) that Christians use to show their commitment and faith. This enabled the pupils to critically evaluate their perception of religious and spiritual symbols. https://www.heronsgate.greenwich.sch.uk/news/zhs6xo01d4i49xhnkkk0xsubxr5qsj monthly 0.5 2022-06-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f45316873a4044d57a29a7b/1655193364952-FTLCR0I1IIDM2LK7HWVD/E5EEB5D8-5DBE-44B3-9F7E-BDEF81CF3F89.jpeg News - Year 5 Rivers Trip https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f45316873a4044d57a29a7b/1655193368232-IZANMEJHFZK7EVM33UV2/59EE2721-2B4D-40E9-A5E2-A97FFD5A5FCB.jpeg News - Year 5 Rivers Trip https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f45316873a4044d57a29a7b/1655193371682-Q75Q8M1MTINGOM3NV59M/8E3CCABE-6830-4DA0-A295-419648538A78.jpeg News - Year 5 Rivers Trip https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f45316873a4044d57a29a7b/1655193375324-IMZWBZE2T0A7J1TB2RTK/A094F3F8-CF3A-45EC-A566-154F06584D28.jpeg News - Year 5 Rivers Trip https://www.heronsgate.greenwich.sch.uk/news/psolkidu3jmjigsrla8u1hqrq1z8kk monthly 0.5 2022-06-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f45316873a4044d57a29a7b/65c1f212-f92c-4f2f-854f-c3b22b605379/Nursery.jpg News - Mental Health in PSHCE - Time Outside in Nursery In Nursery, the children spend plenty of time outside.
