Diamond Class

Welcome to Diamond Class.

I am Mrs Fearby, your child's Reception teacher and I am also the Early Years Lead, your children will also be supported by Miss Ashcroft, Mrs Atkinson and Mrs Finlay throughout the week.

We are a happy Hetton family!

Remember to follow the links below to watch the parent videos to support your child in reading at home, using Read, Write, Inc.  These are different to the Virtual Classroom videos that you will receive each week with your child's specifically taught sounds. Please let know if you have any questions.

Happy watching! Mrs Fearby

 

Transition Week

Last week, Reception spent three days in Year 1 with their new teacher, Mrs Morris. We had lots of fun and did lots of different activities but my favourite activities were exploring all of our new core texts and getting the opportunity to read lots. We read The Lighthouse Keeper's Lunch and decided for our lunch we would make jam sandwiches and biscuits. See the photos below. They were delicious! Mrs Morris was very impressed with how well we settled in to Year 1 - she is looking forward to September.
