A useful phonics website

This week we have been learning the sounds s. a, t and p during our Letters and Sounds sessions. We have included the Jolly phonics songs which accompany these sounds for you to use at home.
The dates for the Stay and Learn sessions are as follows- Tues 8th, Tues 15th and Tues 22nd. Please feel free to come along and join in with a phonics session from 8.50-9.15
You will need to sign in at the school office before the session starts.

On Wed 9th Nov we will be visiting the Environmental centre and need parents to help us walk the children to and from school. We will be leaving school promptly at 1 p.m. and will return to school in time for the end of the day. If you are able to help please complete the Parent mail slip and return to school asap. If we don’t get enough helpers we will have to cancel the trip.

This week we have been strengthening our fingers ready for writing, by practising with scissors, pens, and simple tools.

On Wed 19th Oct at 2.15 I will be holding an information meeting for parents on how we teach phonics in Reception and year 1. This meeting will also include information regarding the year1 phonics screening test.
I look forward to seeing you there.

Harvest Festival

This week we have been counting objects.

Next Thursday we are going to the Church for our Harvest service. If you are able to help walk with the children please let a member of the Receptions staff know. We will be making bread rolls to take with us.

On Friday 30th. We are holding a Macmillan Coffee morning in the Training room. Please come along and support this worthwhile cause.

This week we have played lots of listening games using instruments.
Please could you remember to send in a pair of wellies to keep at school, now that the weather has changed.
Many Thanks

We have had a lovely first week with the new Hedgehogs and Squirrels.
