Welcome to The Pine Class webpage!

Hello and a big welcome from all the staff and children at Ightham Primary School! This is our Pine Class webpage where all important information regarding the class such as routines, upcoming activities/events and home support can be found. Please speak to Mrs Black or Mrs Weller if you have any questions.

Reading Books

Your child will have a new decodable book and a sharing book each week. Please use the Superstar Reading Diary to note down when you read with your child and any difficulties they had.

Phonics

The children have daily phonics lessons and they will be assessed every term. These assessments help us to cater for your child’s need, giving them extra provision if necessary.

Your child’s reading book links to the sounds we have been learning each week. 

We will include the sounds we have been learning in our weekly newsletter.
