TALK LIKE A .....

ENGLISH

As part of our Wellbeing fortnight, for English, we will be focusing our work around the book  'Freedom We Sing' by Amyra Leon. This lovely book will give the children the opportunity to demonstrate their writing and reading skills and will link well to our focus on Wellbeing.

After completing a lovely unit on the book 'Freedom We Sing' we will be reading the wonderful book Paddington by Michael Bond.

​READING BOOKS

The children will only be required to bring their book bags in on Friday for Year 1 and Thursday for Year 2 . This should include their Reading Record and school reading books.  These will be changed and sent home the same day. The children will take home to read 1 book for Year 1 children and 3 book  for Year 2 children each week.

PHONICS

We will be recapping the letter and sound patterns that the children learnt last year as well as introducing them to new patterns that would have been introduced during the school closure. This will ensure they have a solid understanding before moving onto  either the Y1 or Y2 Curriculum.
