WEBSITES FOR LEARNING AT ST. MARTIN'S

Just a reminder about some of the websites we use at school to help children learn that you can also access at home!

Reception and Year 1 Nativity Performances:

• Tuesday 8th December 2pm
• Thursday 10th December at 9.30am

We are able to allocate 3 seats per child on each performance, due to restriction on hall capacity (more details to follow).

Educational Visit to ‘We The Curious’ : On 3rd November, Year 1 and Year 2 went on their educational visit to 'We The Curious' to supplement and enrich the children’s learning. Children will take part in an exclusive workshop ‘The Build It!’ which is a hands-on STEM session.

Phonics Screening Check: 

At the beginning of June, all Year 1 children across the country will take part in the Phonics Screening Check. This is a short, one‑to‑one activity where children are asked to read 40 words, some real and some pseudo (made‑up) words. It helps us understand how confidently your child can use their phonics knowledge to decode words. The check is carried out in a calm environment with a familiar adult. There is nothing you need to do to prepare your child.

Any children who did not pass the Phonics Screening Check in Year 1, will take part in the Phonics Screening Recheck.

You can support your child by reading regularly at home, practising their phonics sounds, and encouraging them to use their decoding skills when they come across new words. We will continue to teach daily phonics in school, and some children also take part in small‑group sessions.

There is a Phonic Screen Check Information Guide for parents at the bottom of this page, for your information. We will share your child’s result with you at parents evening in the Summer Term. If you have any questions, please speak to your child’s class teacher.

EVENTS 2025-2026

Year 1 and 2 had a fabulous day of Crafts and Art! They planned and sculpted arctic animal sculptures based on the style of Nick Mackman. They have shown some lovely shaping, chopping and hashing skills! Well done Year 1 and2 !

Year 1 / 2 Matthew Trip - 7th October: 

Our English topic this term is focusing on Explorers and Pirates. To make this topic more visual and engaging for the children, we arranged a trip to visit the Matthew Ship, Bristol.
Our former-landlubbers learnt about the great pirates of Davey Jones's Lockers, namely the great Blackbeard and have navigated the Bristol harbourside.
