Welcome to a new year in Wrens!
A special welcome to our new reception pupils and their families.
Term 1 in Wrens
This term, we will be lead engineers as well as scientists, artists and historians.
We will be looking closely at the materials and their uses and applying this to our Challenge at the end of term, which should bring us closer to our wonderful wildlife!
In keeping with our curious curriculum, Wrens in Action is divided into our States of Being.
Under each State of Being, you will find examples of learning from adult-led sessions as well as both continuous and enhanced provision from year R, Year 1 and Year 2.
Additionally, there is a section with a focus on outdoor learning.
For useful information and documents please see below this section

During our enquiry 'What do artists do?' We explored Dots in art. We explored the use on animation and fingerprint dots having been inspired by some of the work created by Animade.
To help support phonics at home, we have an optional home learning sheet for each week of the terms phonics learning. Please resist jumping ahead! The best time to use the sheets may be at the weekend after each week has passed as a revision of what has been taught in lessons over the week.
These are posted on Class Dojo for each year group - Appropriately linked to consolidate class learning and to consolidate Phonics for year 2
Look out for new book suggestions to enjoy reading with your children!
Class Dojo
Online Learning Platform
www.classdojo.com or Download the ClassDojo App
There are Four main features of the platform: Class Story – This will contain helpful learning links to online activities along with activities pupils may wish to complete at home. There is no requirement for these activities to be submitted. Staff will update the class story regularly. Each year group in Wrens has their own Class Story.
School Story- The school story sends out information across the whole school and is shown on your feed. our newsletter, Pitton News, as well as our useful information, is sent through this and is sent to all families in the school. Portfolio – This is a section where activities requiring ‘submission’ will be placed. Pupils will complete the activities and submit them online, where their class teacher will be able to access them, comment and/or award Dojo points. Staff will update portfolio activities regularly. The portfolio is only used during Remote learning in Wrens.
Messenger - This is a useful message service built into Class Dojo. Mrs Davis and Miss Pearce check this regularly and will send out Targets, IEPs as well as send messages when needed. This is a great way to let the class teachers know if your child has been feeling unwell or not slept well (for example) if you are unable to pass this information across in the morning.
