AUTUMN TERM TOPIC: Light and Dark
Theme: Christmas
LITERACY:
Phonics: The children’s Phonics learning has now been assessed and next term they will work in smaller groups during Phonics lessons. This is to ensure that they learn phonic skills at the pace at which they are making progress. We will provide further information about this next term.
Please help your child by listening to them as they practise reading sounds and words using their phonic knowledge. Help them to point under each sound as they say each sound, then sweep their finger across the word as they blend to decode the word.
High frequency word lists: Next term we will begin sending home our ‘Animal’ word lists.
