Phonics / Spellings
Reception This week is an assessment week with no new sounds being taught.
Phonics grapheme sheet phase 5 can be downloaded from the links below. Reception phase 5 only goes up to c - cycle in the city.
English
Y1/2 - This week the children will be focusing on SPAG lessons, handwriting and catching up with our History and RE topics
Reception Drawing Club and continuous provision will be based around the story The Oak Tree.
Reading - New decodeable phonics books will be given to Reception and Year 1 children at the end of each week, containing the sounds and some tricky words that the children have been learning throughout that week. They should be read and re-read for fluency and expression, so that by the end of the following week, the children can read those words by sight. If your child has two books in their bag, one might be for blending words with taught sounds or a book containing previous sounds to consolidate. It is really important to encourage your child to read their book at home with you so that they can become familiar with the sounds and words that they have been learning in class.

Physical Education

Could we also remind you:
- Your child should be reading regularly at home in order to consolidate the sounds and words that they have been learning in school during the week, through regular reading, they will also become more fluent readers without having to sound out each word in a sentence.
- Water bottles should only contain water, not squash, juice or flavoured water.
- Fruit is supplied for morning snack, children can bring in their own preferred fruit, but not crisps or biscuit bars.
- Sun hats and sun-screen for the current weather.
