We hope your child is settled and enjoying the start of their school year.  Please read the learning log sent home at the end of each week.  These will keep you up to date with any important events.  They will also inform you of what we have learnt over the week and what we will be embarking on in the next week.  They also contain useful reminders.

Each week R1 and R2 learn new phonemes (letter sounds) each week.  We learn how to join (blend) these letter sounds together to read and how we segment the sounds in words to write.  We also have a maths focus within the week and our continuous provision encompasses both numeracy and literacy aims

Please click on the link below - It is a video clip showing the correct articualtion of phonemes.

Both Reception classes enjoy the outdoors.  To remain mud free you may wish to send your child to school with a mac and a pair of wellies.  Please name all items of clothes you bring to school to help the children avoid losing them.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if needed by either by making an appointment with the office, catching your teacher after school or leaving a note inside your child's book bag.
