This week we have been learning the /ou/ sound. The children have been really impressing me with their knowledge of red words and also their confidence when reading our shared reading books. I can tell that many of the children have been practising at home! This week we have also focussed on writing words and sentences. Keep it up everyone, I am very proud of your efforts!

We hope you have enjoyed reading with your children and seeing their progress!

KS1: Miss Schon’s Phonics Group
Over the past couple of weeks we have been focussing on our knowledge of red words and our reading fluency. I have seen lots of progress and some amazing learning attitudes from the children. It is important that children now practise their phonics homework and reading books so that they can secure their learning.
These are the red words we will be securing over the next week:
These are the sounds we need to secure:
