Yesterday we learnt the ‘a’ sound / phoneme.

Below you will be able to see one of the children modelling how to say the sound correctly and the phrase for writing the sound. Just in case you can’t hear him, he is saying “Around the apple and down the leaf”.

Ask your child if they can show you anything beginning with the ‘a’ sound at home and if they can write the ‘a’ sound.

We will post our next sound on the blog shortly!

Today we have introduced the children to their first phonic sound!

Below you will be able to see one of our children from last year modelling how to say the sound correctly and the phrase for writing the sound. Just in case you can’t hear her, she is saying “Maisy mountain, mountain”.

Ask your child if they can show you anything beginning with the ‘m’ sound at home and if they can write the ‘m’ sound.

We will be introducing one sound everyday, so please make sure your child keeps up at home too, we learn fast here in reception.

We will post our next sound on the blog shortly!

Hopefully, you have spotted the home learning booklet that was in your child’s book bag on Friday.

The work will be linked to our Literacy Work, particularly Phonics.

Please bring your home learning book into school every Friday, so we can add the next set of learning to complete at home.

Any questions please see the Reception Team and we would be happy to help.

Thank you for your continued support.

We had another wonderful Monday getting to know our new children.

They settled in beautifully, and started to make friends instantly.

The children who had already started did a brilliant job of showing the new starters what to do and where to go, we are so proud of them all.

Here are a few photos of yesterday.
