In Writing, what imperative verbs can I use to write my instructions to make a jam sandwich?

In Phonics, Mrs Lawson’s group will be recapping all of the Set 2 sounds and Miss Kay’s group are starting the Set 3 sounds. (see sounds mat in Reading Book Bag to support your child further).

PE Days: will continue to be Monday and Wednesday.

Book Bags: please send your child with their books on a Monday to be changed for the week. I have now included the book they have been reading in their Phonics lesson and they can choose a ‘free reader’ from the classroom as well as their reading book so they have extra to read. If you think they need extra time to become fluent with their Phonics books, then please keep them longer.
