Extended Study – What’s your favourite book?

19th September 2024Sophie Myers

Next week is Green Libraries week. Have you ever visited your local library?

To celebrate, Crew Council is setting everyone a task to recommend their favourite books to their peers.

You could present this as a poster, a book review, a leaflet or a picture of the front cover of your favourite book.

Next week, your Crew Councillor will be presenting theirs – this might help you with some ideas!

Please hand in your finished piece to your Crew leaders. These will look amazing in your class reading area! You could even bring in your favourite book to share with your friends!

As an extra challenge – Could you research what Green Libraries week is about? What does it mean to be Green and Sustainable?

I can’t wait to see what you all come up with!

Reception Phonics this week

13th September 2024Amanda Wallace

This week the children have been practicing hearing their first set of phonemes in words s/a/t/p, fast blending the phonemes to say words and at breaking down the phonemes in a word! We have been writing the grapheme in lots of different ways to become more confident and remember how to form the graphemes correctly!

The children will receive a homework sheet every Friday (starting today) to practise and consolidate the sounds that we have covered that week. It would be really helpful to aid your child’s progress to practise these phonemes with them daily to ensure that they can retain those sounds.

If you are unsure about phonics or some of the phonics vocabulary that we use with the children we will be holding a Phonics Family Learning session on Wednesday 25th September from 2-3. This session will explain what our phonics sessions look like, the vocabulary used and what you can do to support your child.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask a member of the F2 team.

Mrs Wallace and Mrs Jones.

Phonics

3rd June 2024Amanda Wallace

This week in phonics we are consolidating our learning. Look out for the Red Word sheet that will be handed out at the end of the week. The words that are highlighted are the words that still need to be practised.

This will help your child to be on track with reading and will be great preparation for Year 1.
