Hello,

Homework for this week:

Reading: Please see the blue reading record book for the daily reading homework. We are  focusing on getting the class to learn their key words from their word boxes. It is really important that the children learn these words so that they can continue to progress onto the next stage of reading books. Please can you continue this focus at home by helping your child to learn these words. This can be done through games, such as a word treasure hunt, find the correct word or just a simple quiz to see how quickly each word is recognised.

Phonics: We are not learning any new sounds this week but we are recapping the ones we have learned so far. To help with this we will be sending home worksheets which either focus on using phonics to create CVC (consonant vowel consonant) words or are related to your child’s reading book. Please help your child to complete these.

Thank you,

Miss Maley and Mrs Cumming

Good evening all,

Homework for this week:

Reading books will be coming home from Tuesday onwards. On Thursday we will also send home either a reading comprehension worksheet or a key word worksheet.

We are also looking for anyone who would be able to give us a helping hand with the Christmas Fair toy stall on Friday from 12:30pm – 2pm. Please do let us know if you would be interested in helping out!

We are delighted to see that the children with speaking parts have been learning their lines at home and that the whole class are trying their best to learn the songs and their roles within the play.
