Today we learnt the ‘S’ sound and words that begin with the ‘S’ sound

Below you will be able to see one of our children 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 “Slither down the snake”.

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

We will post our next sound on the blog shortly!

Last week we also learnt the ‘a’ sound.

Below you will be able to see one of our 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.

Congratulations children we are very proud of you, and the hard work you completed last week.
(apologies for this not being put on the blog sooner, there were a few technical glitches)

Please could you check that your child has their own cardigan or jumper. We are currently trying to locate two stray cardigans that have their owners names in them.

Please could you also make sure that your child’s clothes and belongings are clearly labelled as we are still having issues with unnamed jumpers and cardigans. Sometimes the names written in pen can also wash off. Please check that your child’s name is still visible and also readable.

Many thanks

After another busy week, today your child will be sent home with their very first reading book. In your child’s book bag you will find a zip wallet with a reading book and a Reading Record.

The reading book at the moment is just a picture book. We encourage children to start off with the picture books because it gets them used to handling books properly and they also can learn and understand that the pictures tell stories.

On the front page of the Reading Record it explains that it is expected that parents will read with their children at least 3 times a week and this will need to be recorded in the Reading Record. Bedtime stories can also count towards the 3 entries a week.

Please send your child’s reading book and reading Record in daily, as we will also be reading with the children in school.

Reading books will be changed every Friday  and the signatures will also be counted on a Friday.
