In Phonics: most of the children are now learning the Set 3 sounds (see sound mats in bookbags to support your child with their learning). Please continue to read and change their books regularly. I have also sent home a sheet of QR codes which give you direct links to Phonics videos that we use in school which will enable you to support your child’s learning of the sounds.
PE Days: our days are Monday and Wednesday
Book Bags: please send your child with their books on a Monday to be changed for the week. Please spend the week reading the three books that the children now have in their bags. In addition, your child may come home with a ‘Little People Big Dreams’ book of their choice. If you read it with them and they are able to answer the questions on the inside cover, they can bring it back to earn more house points from Mrs White if they get them all correct.
