What's included

Class Experience

US Grade Kindergarten - 1
Come and join us for a magical adventure in the enchanted forest with Summer the Unicorn and Freya the Fairy! 

* Each week there will be 3 videos uploaded to the classroom for the start of the week for parents to watch when it is convenient for them. Video 1 will be the story, introduction to the sounds and tricky word being learnt that week and an abc song. Video 2 will include reading games to practise blending the sounds we are learning to read words. Video 3 be a shorter video looking at 3 sentences with our sounds in.  
* There will be 5 worksheets provided each week. These include an ‘I Spy’ worksheet along with a worksheet for each of the sounds learnt that week where there will be words to read and pictures for children to try to match to the words. 
* Reading games include a ‘roll and read’ game where the teacher will use a big dice to generate numbers. We will count along to read different words. 
* We will also play a game where we will read words on flowers. Some of the words will be nonsense words and some will be real. Your learner can pause the video after the teacher has modelled the word to tell their adult if they think it is a real word or a nonsense word. The  teacher will model separating the sounds and blending these together to read the words. 
*We will finish by reading some sentences which will incorporate some of the words in with the phase 4 sounds. 

* Worksheets to support at home: 
Each week the teacher will upload an ‘I Spy’ worksheet in the classroom for children to identify things in which have our sounds in that we have learnt that week. There will also be 4 worksheets each week uploaded with pictures and words on where children can have a go at reading the words and matching the words to the pictures. 

Week 1: sounds st, nd, mp, nt. Words such as nest, gift, lamp etc. Sight word ‘to’ 
Week 2: sounds sk, lt lk, pt. words such as tusk, belt, milk etc. Sight word ‘into’ 
Week 3: sounds gr, cr, bl, br. words such as crab, green, black. Sight word ‘she’ 
Week 4: pl, cl, sp, sm. Words such as plant, clown, spin, small. Sight word ‘he’ 

Each week children will be given a weekly challenge to complete at home if they wish to, for example drawing a perfect house for Freya the fairy to live in. Children can post their pictures on the classroom page each week and they can see their friends pictures on there. 

Flex classes are perfect for families with busy schedules. These classes may suit children who are not comfortable with their camera on. 

I will be available to contact through the week on the classroom page or by private message.  Thank you!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello everyone! My name is Catherine and I am an experienced primary school teacher from the UK. I have a BA Honours degree in Structured Textiles and a PGCE degree in Primary Education. For the last 7 years I have been a certified teacher of early years education.

I currently teach part time in a primary school. During the rest of the week I teach here on Outschool. 

I am up to date with the current curriculum requirements and I have extensive experience of teaching synthetic phonics, mathematics and mindfulness lessons using a scheme called Mind Up in my Primary School. 

I absolutely love teaching on this platform and having the opportunity to meet young learners from all over the world. It is my passion to provide fun and engaging learning opportunities whilst helping children to grow in confidence and believe in themselves. 

I offer a caring and welcoming learning environment where I help children to feel happy and safe. I am a motivated, enthusiastic and loving teacher who will help your child to grow in confidence whilst having fun learning new things.

My specialism is teaching literacy through synthetic phonics and I am excited to offer a variety of fun phonics lessons in which children can become secure in recognising letters and their sounds. Children will use multi sensory approaches to learn phonics through exciting games and learning activities. 

I love spending time outdoors and visiting new places with my family. I am a Mum to a toddler who is turning 3 this year. She loves exploring the world around her and it is beautiful to see her excitement as she is learning about her world. 

I am so excited to meet your little ones! Please take a look at the range of classes I offer. I offer both group and individual classes and I am flexible to schedule requests. I look forward to hearing from you soon and meeting your little one. 🥰
