Reception Reading books*Please read*

Reading book google form

I know that many parents are aware that we are changing how we are supporting children with their reading, moving forward. Please read the attached letter and complete the google form above.

As soon as a parent has signed the google form to say that they agree, your child will come home with their set of reading books, which will be changed on a Friday from now on.

In the meantime, please don’t worry that you don’t have school books over the weekend because any books that you read will count towards your school reading challenge.

Thank you for your support with this change

Reception Phonics

12th January 2025Amanda Wallace

This week in Phonics we have been covering the following sounds. The sounds will be sent out for the children to be practising to recognise the digraph, say the digraph and then write the grapheme.

The children are really starting to learn and retain those sounds but will need support to blend those sounds together. Have a go at the green words and the more they hear those sounds being blended the easier it will become. There is a sentence to read on the bottom of the sheet also. Reading this and also reading the reading books that the children now have will all help to increase and improve the children’s fluency in their reading.

Thanks

Mrs Wallace and Mrs Jones.

What are your New Year pledges? Is there anything you want to work on this year?

To welcome in the New Year, our next Extended Study challenge is to create New Years pledges, posters or kindness stones that we can display around school.

Next week, Crew Councillors will be completing these and presenting in Crew time as examples for you to use.

Keep an eye out for the blog for examples! We can’t wait to see what you come up with!

Extended Study – Non Fiction November

3rd December 2024Sophie Myers

To celebrate the end of Non-Fiction November.. Can you make a book review, poster or an informative bookmark about a Non-fiction book of your choice? You could even find a non-fiction book linking to Christmas?

You could even use some of your time to enjoy a non-fiction book with a friend or share one at home.

We would love to see some of your creations displayed in your classroom reading areas!

Any photographs of these being completed will go into a prize draw to win a selection box! – Good Luck!
