Coming Soon- Live Daily Phonics Lessons
Dear Parents and Carers,
We are pleased to tell you that from Monday 27th April, your child can receive a daily live phonics lesson whilst schools are closed. Phonics is the way we teach children to recognise the sounds in words. It helps your child to learn to read and is an essential part of your child’s education.
During this term, you will be able to access the daily phonics lesson, by clicking on the new Department for Education ‘Letters and Sounds for home and school‘ YouTube Channel . All lessons are introduced by celebrities, including children’s TV presenters,which adds an exciting addition to the lessons.
There are three sets of daily lessons to choose from and we suggest your child starts with one set of lessons most suitable to their year group and reading ability. If you’re not sure which lessons your child should watch or your child finds the lessons too difficult, please email Mrs Theo if your child is in Reception or Mrs Carey if your child is in Year 1.
New lessons will be uploaded Monday to Friday at the times below during the summer term and available to watch throughout the summer term on the Letters and Sounds YouTube Channel
| 11 am* | Learning to blend | For children in Reception and Year 1 who need extra practice sounding and reading words such as ‘tap’ ‘cap’ ‘mat’ ‘pat’ |
| 10 am* | Reception Summer term | For children who can confidently blend and read words such as ‘fish’ ‘chat’ and ‘rain’ |
| 10:30 am* | Year 1 Summer term | For children who can confidently blend and read words such as ‘stamp’ ‘chair’ and ‘green’ |
After watching each lesson, we encourage you to read aloud to your child and listen to your child read. More information about phonics and how to help your child can be found in the parent/carer video guide below.

Holy Week Quiz for FRHC. Primary School (Key Stage 2).FK.01.04.2020
Holy Week Quiz Younger Children (Key stage 1).Fk.01.04.20
Message from Francesca Khaliq at Our Lady and St Vincent Church
Dear families,
I hope you are all keeping safe and well during this unsettling time.
As it is Holy Week next week I am attaching some quizzes for the children to do, there is one for key Stage 1 (reception to Year 2) and Key Stage 2 (Year 3 to Year 6). Entries will need to be sent back to Deacon Axcel by Tuesday 14th April at pbalpha@rcdow.org.uk, so just put the answers into an email, or you can print the quiz and fill it in and post them to the parish, whatever is easier for you. Axcel will put all the names into a hat and pick a winner, the prize is a £20 voucher, so worth having a go, please encourage them to take part; the answers will be emailed out when the winner is announced. There is a quiz for older children in secondary school (Key Stage 3), you can request this quiz by emailing pbalpha@rcdow.org.uk and Deacon Axcel will email it to you, there are £20 gift vouchers for the winner of each of the three quizzes.
It is wonderful that we have the capability of live streaming (remember you can access our live streaming by logging on to our website olasv.org.uk and clicking on live streaming link) but sad to see the benches empty without all our wonderful parishioners. So we would like you all to send a photo of your family so Fr Shaun and Deacon Axcel can print them out and stick them on the benches in church, so we are all there together. So please take a family photo and email it to pbalpha@rcdow.org.uk
I have prepared a Children’s Liturgy for the children to do on Good Friday at home, all the information has been emailed to parents via schoolcomms, there is a run through and 3 attachments for the liturgy, have a read through and see if you can spend some time with the children to do this on Good Friday. Please don’t feel obliged to do it all if you can’t or if you don’t have the resources but have a look before Friday to see if you can get anything ready in advance, you will just need access to a laptop/IPad or mobile to watch the videos and access the music.
I pray that you and your families keep safe and well during this time.
God bless
Fran
